One day during the week I had to go to The Hague to pick up some prints for an exhibition in April. Afterwards, I went for a brief walk in and around Chinatown. I don’t know The Hague very well, so it was a walk of discovery. The weather was nice, and so main image is a street illuminated by the late afternoon sun.

The alternates:
The first two alternates were also made during that same walk in The Hague.
Alternate 1:
The entrance to a “smart shop”, which is Dutch for a head shop that also sells hallucinogenic mushrooms and the like:
Alternate 2:
A half-headless statue:
The remaining images are from Sunday afternoon in Brussels. I was there to attend the vernissage of an exhibition at the American Women’s Club in Rhode-St-Genese, in which I also had a couple of images.
Alternate 3:
As is usually the case at such events, some people studied the images seriously:

Alternate 7:
Not at all interested in the images:
After the vernissage, we drove to the suburb of Overijse, where we lived from 1995 to 2000. We wanted to show our daughter where she had spent the first 5 years of her life. The last three alternates are from there.
Alternate 8:
The guard dog (?) of a shop on Stationstraat, the main street in Overijse:
Alternate 9:
We lived in this house for five years. It is now being remodeled and is for rent again:
Alternate 10:
This used to be our backyard view. My children used to play on the now defunct swing in the corner:
