Well this is a good opportunity to explain why I write “BeNeLux” on the subject location…

The Benelux is an economic union in Western Europe comprising three neighbouring monarchies, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg,  which lie in the north western European region inbetween France and Germany. 

I’m a Belgian amateur photographer and live officially in Louvain-la-Neuve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louvain-la-Neuve ), the new university town, 40 km South of Brussels, in the province Walloon Brabant where my 3 daughters are also living.

Four days/week I’m working in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and live in a very nice studio in the beautiful city of Haarlem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haarlem ).

And for the week-ends, I always try to be with my dear Marie,in Gaume (South Belgium), close to the border with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Groussherzogtum Lëtzebuerg : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxembourg ).

But there are other places in the world where I feel “at home” : Tucson, AZ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucson,_Arizona  where I lived for one wonderful year), “somewhere in a small paradize”, in the Cévennes, France (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9vennes ),…

*So, I really feel myself a citizen of the world… ! *
