The Maison du Roi, once the administrative center for Flander's ruling Spanish kings, is now home to the city museum. It is just one of the ornate 400 year old structures surrounding the Grand Place, at the core of the old city. I photographed it on a cloudy morning, using backlight to abstract the tiny figures that seem to be dancing around its spires. Because these figures were so small and so high above me, I used a 240mm medium telephoto focal length to make this shot.
