You knew where this was didn't you? Or you gave it a good guess anyway? Gera and Fun60 guessed right. Gera gets a point, Fun60 half a point (for also thinking it might be Brighton). The answer is of course: Brussels in Belgium. Don't ask me exactly where, but when you walk through that city there are plenty of signs of comic books everywhere. This photo was taken during a trip my sister and I took back in 1997 (or thereabouts). We traveled through Belgium and Luxemburg, but not being the proper adults then that we are now (choke, cough), we were more interested in shops and cinema than in the sights and the culture. Although comic books were fine.
On now to this week's challenge. Where is it? And what is your story? I will give the correct answer in two weeks' time.
I am staggered that one of my guesses was correct. This week's photo is a bit of a head scratcher as I'm sure I have been here but where is it? The opulence reminds me of the Hermitage in St Petersburg. However there are a number of palaces in Europe that have similar stunning rooms so I will have to wait until you disclose the answer in a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteEver since you have been there, there are far more comic murals, Strumpfs, Tintin, Le Chat etc. For tourists there is a circuit organized, some of them are really artwork ! The ceiling with the crystal chandeliers could be everywhere I have seen such rooms in our Royal Palace, in St. Petersburg, in Istambul, in Verseilles, and probably in other cities. So I am curious where it is !
ReplyDeleteThe mirror hall at Versailles in Paris.

ReplyDeleteYes, I was thinking the great Mirror Hall... YAM xx
WOW...my first thought was the TLC and work involved with the beautiful Chandeliers. Very thankful that is not my chore.

Our guess would be Versailles Mirror Hall too.
ReplyDeleteI didn't look at anyone's answers but it looks like Versailles to me. I have a similar picture from 2011. Hall of Mirrors.
