Summer evening / early night in the beautiful old town of Ghent. The canal, market, 14th-century bell tower, and old castle are beautiful under calm summer starlight. Typical of Flanders, the city is remarkably clean. (Exception to the rule would be Brussels, which albeit the "capital of Flanders" is very French indeed.)
