[Leica] IMG: Nathan's PAW 9: mostly Brussels

[Douglas Barry]

Very good, that Galeries St-Hubert shot always puts me in the mood for 
Neuhaus chocolates - one of the delights of Brussels, as is the Grand 
Place. I have fond memories of the city from our visits to our son when 
he worked in the Commission.

The best photo, however, is the B&W of Eri looking wistful.

That said, I also looked at the Swedish art, and was surprised by the 
fact that I'd never heard of any of them. I looked up Hilma af Klint and 
was very taken by the very old portrait of her on Wikipedia 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilma_af_Klint

Have a look at it at its largest - involves a few clicks - and, for such 
an old image, it positively sings. The beauty of old media is hard to 
deny. It was probably shot on a large format glass plate. The credit 
says that it might have been taken in 1901, but that would make her 39 
in the image and I think she might be ten or more years younger in it.
