Christmas lights in Antwerp

Saturday I went with SC and our daughter to Antwerp in Belgium to watch the Christmas markets. I like the city with its old houses and narrow streets very much but had never been here during the festive season before.
 
There were big bowls with fires to sit around and enjoy your "hot wine".
 
When it was getting dark the lights went on at the giant wheel.
 
The trees looked magical. 
 
At the Christmas market you could buy many beautiful items.
 
I wasn't aware of the tragedy that had taken place in Connecticut last Friday, we left Saturday very early in the morning and hadn't seen any news. I feel for the American people who have to cope with another deadly shooting incident at a school, it is incredible.

  5. Beautiful! I have never visited Antwerp. One day maybe... It was very soothing to see all these magical lights after what happened here in the US on Friday... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
