Beg to differ. The steel mill in the background is at least as typical for the place as the houses in the foreground. In fact, it's why I spend most of my weekends in the area. Most of the industrial buildings will be gone in a few years and I'm trying to capture whatever remains of the days when the mills and coal mines were the main features of this place. The mines have long gone almost without a trace and the mills are now cold and dead. Only one blast furnace remains in operation and that will also be closed in 3 years. Nice little streets can be had all over Belgium. It's the mill in the background that makes Rue Bordelais what it is. Ralf -- Ralf R.
