Flemish flag in Dinant
Apr 25
Being in Dinant, I saw this flemish flag and thought it was pretty cool that in these times of political deadlock a wallon city would expose the flemish flag. A pessimistic mind might say they put flags of foreign countries…. Anyway, I found it cool enough for a picture.

Dinant is also the city of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone.
