White Christmas

All the best wishes for Christmas Eve from a very snowy Liège!

And the snow persists

More snow pics, it's everywhere...

Snowy crosses

The War Memorial on the Albert Bridge in the snow and the gloom.

Leafless Treewatch

It's Skywatch time. Go for it!

Even more Palais Provincial

A final set of photos from the Provincial Palace. These are from the main entrance hall column and ceiling decorations.

More Palais Provincial

A couple more photos of the interior of the Provincial Palace. The treats on the tables are raw carrots, radishes and cauliflower to be dipped in two different sauces (probably tartare and thousand island, straight from the supermarket).

Palais Provincial

We were invited to a reception at the Provincial Palace, which happens to be the Palace of the Bishop Princes, in honour of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Liege. It was a great opportunity to finally see what the Palace looks like from the inside. As you might expect, there's plenty of mirrors, chandeliers and gold leaf.
