Colorfully international



I was happy that this man did not have to think for a second when I asked him if it would be ok to take his photo. He said he was from Kenya, the States and from Gabon and that his attire came from Egypt and West Africa. His was the only stand on the market that day. I guess that his colleagues listened to the weather report because shortly after this shoot rain came and stayed for the day.

  6. He seems quite happy there despite the weather. We have had so much rain that I am really getting fed up with it now. Next we know we will have a drought!! Diane

  8. Hallo Anni,
    Zijn kostuum maakt zeker deel uit van de "tricks of the trade". Zo gaat hij zeker niet onopgemerkt voorbij, maar die dag zal hij wel niet veel zaken hebben gedaan...
    Ik wens je veel meiklokjes vandaag!

  12. As always, I am thankful for your comments

    Lies, laat ons hopen maar hij lijkt (zie commentaren) een wekelijks terugkerend fenomeen te zijn

    He does, Petra and Sylvia K

    Judy, it is just a question of who to talk to :)

    Thank you, laviolette

    Merci Nadezda, is this your first visit to This is Belgium? Welcome

    I also had that impression, Filip

    Diane, two wonderful days here but now more (French?) rain on way... :(

    His attire is interesting, is it not, Michelle?

    Dank, Frans, ook jou veel meiklokjes toegewenst

    Non, Alain, la pomme du verger a répondu...

    Lapommeduverger, quel plaisir de ne plus devoir répondre aux questions. Grand merci !

    Mijnnikonenik, voor mij was het a first !

    Kris, totally agree
