It is my second time, to photograph the centre of Brussels in the night. As always, I go off the beaten tracks, not being able to follow the crowds, the most obvious places and photos. In an occasion, I set my tripod and start photographing one of the main tourist attractions. But I had found a spot that was not at all obvious, very hidden and away from the main streets. It gave me the most curious and original setting, playing with composition. I move my tripod back, and suddenly discover that I then had a big group of people just behind me, all photographing the same I was capturing. Uow! Time to leave.
I go to another area, with exceptional traditional shops. It is much quieter. I reach my favourite café, under the arcade.
