Cafe Het Elfde Gebod...

... in Antwerp, Belgium. Right next to the Cathedral. Filled to the brim with all sorts of religious iconography. I had the A7 with me, so you can imagine what I did.

PS: The name means the 11th commandment, which is thou shalt enjoy!

Cem,

This is extraordinarily for a picture taken in a dark huge space. The colors are really rich. The image seems more like a painting about some religious episode, rather than a modern photograph. I've never seen such a packed in collection of religious statuary, not even in Rome! It's like a storehouse!

All this saints and iconic biblical figures! I also wonder what one can serve in such an ambience. Seems to me it has to be some medieval beef stew or glazed boar's head.

for sure, not fish and chips or humus!

Hi Asher,

They do indeed serve a very nice stew along with hundred+ sorts of Belgian beers. But no boar's head.

A great way to start the series, looking in. Two different worlds. One outside very practical, subject to the elements and factual, inside a protected maintained world of legends and faith, heroism and sacrifice, garnished with food!
