Bouillon, Belgium [edit]

File:Bouillon, Semoise River, Day-Break.jpg
The thick fog lays upon Semois River in Bouillon, Belgium. December 2004

I nominate this image that I took in the city of Bouillon, Belgium around mid December. It is along the Semois River as the sun was starting to rise; the fog was thick until two or three hours after this picture was taken. This photo illustrates the tranquility of a small village with the silent river, the empty streets, the timeless buildings and the majestic mountain range hardly visible.

  • Nominate and support. - Taycher 06:49, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think you've any chance with this one. I didn't enjoy looking at the massive lamppost and the "invisible mountains"! Better luck next time - Adrian Pingstone 08:02, 17 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • I apologise for the tone of my remarks above. I should have been constructive about the picture so apologies to the uploader - Adrian Pingstone 14:29, 17 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't like looking at lamp posts either unfortunately. Enochlau 11:05, 17 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • It perhaps illustrates fog better than it illustrates Bouillon, although there are already quite a few good photos on the fog page. The relief map of Bouillon is an interesting perspective on a town. -- Solipsist 14:14, 17 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't know, I kinda like this picture. Its got a hot chocolate feel to it, reminds me of my time in Pennsylvania. And (to me) the lamp post isn't all that bad.TomStar81 05:00, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Sorry, but i don't like it. The lamppost in the middle is the biggest flaw -- Chris 73 Talk 22:52, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose - because of the lamppost - Adrian Pingstone 08:11, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
