After a conference in Annecy, France, we spent some few days in Belgium. My wife Françoise has family in Belgium and, particularly, her aunt has a house in Knokke, an interesting and fancy city by the North Sea. Carolina (Françoise's daugther), Glenn and their daugther Grabielle, who live in the USA, came along. After few days in Knokke, we visited Bruges. These pictures were taken with my new camera, an Olympus Stylus 1. I liked this camera and it replaced my Lumix FZ200 - also a nice piece - sold to a friend. This Stylus 1 is very practical to me; its commands are quite similar to Olympus OM-D E-M5 ones, which I am used to. Consider these pictures as 'souvenir' or simple 'travel pictures' since there is nothing special about them. The main goal here is to give a quick impression of Knokke and its sourroudings.
