Location

A park in Ghent, Belgium.

Participants

Expedition

I had been doing some sightseeing in Wallonia this weekend, and noticed that Sunday's hash was in a convenient place in central Ghent. So on the way home I made a detour to this lovely city and went to Coyendanspark. It was a nice sunny Sunday evening, so the park was full of people having a good time reading, chatting, walking their dogs and doing other things one might do on such an occasion. I took a few pictures and then walked to the city centre to view its beautiful old buildings.

Coyendanspark, located on the site of an old church, its location indicated by the hedgerows on the left. The white building is a kind of community centre.
On the other side of the white building.

Looking west, towards the city centre and the still very bright Sun.
