I always have a great time hanging out with my friend Reid, so I was excited when she suggested a day trip to Namur last month. I didn’t know anything about the city, but I figured even if we get there and turn right back, I’ll enjoy the time chatting with her in the car. The car trip was fun, but we also found some nice sights in Namur.

It was stormy day with dark clouds hovering just overhead. We skipped the famous Citadel and spent our time looking in churches and wandering the shopping area. We found a really cute toy store where she found some goodies for her daughter and I found some cute wooden necklaces for my neice’s birthday.

I took my wide angle lens on this trip for a change of view and it was very helpful in capturing the churches we visited. The churches here so much fancier (and older) than in the US. They have gorgeous stained-glass windows, amazing architecture and details, and are just huge.

Namur was a cute city, with some fun shops, but I wouldn’t put it at the top of a list for visitors. Still though, we had a great time. You can see more photos from our short trip on Flickr and on Reid’s blog.

it is always such a treat to see our adventures thru your eyes and your camera lens. It was a fun day – even with the weather. and the HDR shots are super cool!
I really like the church photos you took! I haven’t been to Namur before either and didn’t know if it was worth it or not…I’m sure someday I’ll check it out.

You are having so much fun exploring! I love the sky! Such a great day! And i like that you’re pushing yourself to use the wide angle. :)
