Dinner with a view

Last weekend I was invited for dinner on a terrace of a rooftop appartment in Brussels (St-Gilles). The view was fantastic. Weather had been very changeable in the past days and hours, but we enjoyed the sun all evening.

Preparations in the kitchen

Mmm, nice dinner, hardly anything left to photograph

Dessert was good too

Part of the view. Those who know it can spot my apartment block on the far right. Still not entirely sure where the appartment block in the middle is, on the right of the church spire (nor which church this is). I'll have to go and explore. At the back, a Brussels landmark: the atomium, well worth a visit, especially since it's been renovated with good taste.

Another part of the view

More landmarks: the 'Pensions Tower' next to the South/Midi railway station, with a reflection of the next landmark

the Palace of Justice, of which the dome has been renovated - it's really shiny now - we're waiting for the rest.

St-Gilles town hall

Then the sun went down

Just love this birdie

Thanks J. for the invite and the pics!
