BELMAL NEWS FEBRUARY 2016                en français    in het Nederlands

For the " 50 Minutes at Durbuy " made in January 2016, the expected snowfall did not take place; Belgium weather is known to be changeable. For lack of a white carpet, or a red one for that matter, photo-model and photographer toured the narrow alleys of Durbuy, all the while facing the bitter cold and moist breeze, and made a 50 minutes' photoshoot. Not that they had a stopwatch though; around the 50th minute they took heated refuge in a bistro. On that Monday noon, and carrying along the trunk-and-cart nicknamed the pharao, they really were the only ones to be seen on the streets of the medieval city. One day they will return: the Belmal atelier, and a major portion of the museum-collection of antique trunks is at about 10 kilometres from Durbuy. Of the ancient walls, shiny pavement, oak-beam and rockstone houses, and the d'Ursel castle,.... A summary, in just 8 photos, accompany us!
