A Belgian Wasteland ClassicOk, so...
Around Xmas, I went with my cousin photographer Eve Van Soens to one of the most (and most pathetically) famous of all disused industrial sites in Belgium: the former Clabecq steel foundry.

But it's a great place for photography, and we had a swell time.
I just spent weeks selecting the best pictures (there were so many!), but here they are at last :
