END OF SUMMER SEASON
The sun was shining (for once) yesterday so I did a little excursion to the Waterloo Lion and Napoleon's battle field as I live only a few miles from this historical site.
Poor Napoleon looked over an almost empty parking
empty street as well and the Panorama (where the battle is shown) in restauration
The restaurant just under the Lion is closed now
but the cows on the ex battle field are still there !
A view where this bloody battle took place in 1815.
and on my way back I saw one house (!) with Halloween decoration !
Your peace globe has been placed in The Peace Globe Gallery.

BlogBlast For Peace ~ November 6, 2008 is going to be awesome! Hope to see you there.
And #1075!
ReplyDeleteThe cows look so quiet under the sun! I don't see still any halloween decorations in streets here! Several years ago Halloween had a such succes and now nothing! Le soleil est revenu ici aussi! Mais j'ai eu quelques petits dégats au jardin! Il faut que je replante mes petits cactus!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty view of the ex battle field, especially with the cows...Napoleon must feel at peace today with hardly any cars to bother him! How amazing to live not too far from such a historical site...
ReplyDeleteCool pics this week! Ilove the cows and love the last photo
ReplyDeleteI love the cows.
ReplyDeleteOkay! We all love the cows! LOL! But you know what I find amazing -- is those decorations left OUTSIDE on a row house! Maybe it's only because I live near DC - but closer into the city NOBODY puts decorations OUTside - they would be stolen in a minute! Of course, out here in the country where I am, many many houses are decorated to the max! Inside and out! I should go take some pics... if I EVER get my kitchen finished! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHalloween isn't my thing. But I do so love the battlefield photos. Hubby and I used to do battlefield tours when we traveled with our RV, but now with 4 dogs and the price of fuel, it's hard to go anywhere.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky you live near this "amazing" historical site. In my high school world history class it was compulsory to learn/ read -Battle of Waterloo...but we were more interested in Josephine and Bonaparte...

Waterloo decisively saw the end of 26 years of fighting between the European powers and France. The French star was eclipsed and the German began its ascendancy. For Britain, Waterloo is not just a battle. It is an institution.
Fabulous photos once again Gattina. You know I've told you many times just how much interest my hubby has with Napoleon and Waterloo. He'd be so tickled to actually have gone with you on the excursion.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post.
Wow! How cool... I love all things history and would have loved to see that. Thanks to your pictures, I feel like I have!
ReplyDeleteThe cows are definitely my favorite this week!
ReplyDeleteThose cows are OUT-STANDING in their field.
