Antwerp, Flanders - Museum at the Stream
To understand the hand theme, it would be useful to know the origin of the cities name. Comes from Hand throwing.
The hero Brabo vanquished the maleficent giant Antigoon who taxed the access to the Scheldt. After his victory he cut of the giants hand and threw it away in the Scheldt.
(my how things have changed 
imagine someone would cut of the hand of the tax inspectors these days 
)

From Afsnee
(a village in the Belgian province of East Flanders. It is part of the urban area of the province's capital city Ghent. It is situated on the banks of the river Lys)
from Aalter
(the village I've called "home" for the last 34 years 
)
When you get the impression of a purely rural village, that isn't correct. It's just that the urban parts don't tend to offer a lot of interesting subjects.
but on occasion ...

It seems my two previous posted were automatically merged into one.
I didn't find a way to prevent this from happening 
Edit: And again just now. If anyone would know how to avoid this?

Interesting content Bart.
Reference merged posts - do you mean you made two separate posts, and they were displayed as one post?
It seems like the forums merges posts that are made too soon after the previous. I don’t know what the threshold time is.

Thanks!
I made two separate post and the second one automatically got added into the first one.
I know this is how forum software can act but over on the sister site Pentax Forums, you can deactivate this behaviour in the personal settings but this option doesn't seem to be available here.
Not that big of an issue. It's just that I thought it might be clearer when presented in two separate posts.

I have some scans of analog photos that fit in this thread, I think.
Pretty sure I haven't posted these yet: colour film
First set is from a village on the river Lys, Astene
Ektachrome E100
flowers on the ridge of a bridge
sculpture, half of a pair named "the lost art of conversation"
Thistles in a wheat field
one from Ursel, a neighbouring village
Portra 400
one from Herzele, more towards the center of our country
Ektachrome E100 again
Finally, two from Ooidonk on Lomography Colour 100
a fragment of the roof of the castle Ooidonk is best known for, in the area, that is.
