Tenbosch Park - My Special Place

Posted by Jason Kravitz (Brussels, Belgium) on 7 November 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.

I can't believe I lived in my apartment for over a year before realizing there was a big peaceful park just a few blocks away. Tenbosch Park is a nice break from the city. It is also home to many wild parrots.

I am taking a quick break from China photos to participate in Kylie's My Special Place theme. Thanks for organizing this!

Lovely photo - I'm sure those benches have shared many special moments with a large number of folk who have visited the park.

This reminds me of the 'Pocket Parks' in Savannah, Georgia ... tucked right in the middle of the city.
You must enjoy some restful moments here ... if you carve them out for yourself.

lordy, Jason, how big is that image? It took forever to load. I am a + kind of guy, but I don't think I have ever uploaded anything like that. what am i missing here? :)

Lovely image with the old folks on the bench. reminds me of an old Simon and Garfunkle song, "Old Friends."
