On a good day, with a telephoto lens, this is the view from Antwerp’s  town hall ... a beautiful ancient building here in the city of  Antwerpen.
 They say that it is clear that it was built by a city at the height of  its power and wealth.  It was finished in 1564 by architect Cornelis  Floris de Vriendt and the interior decoration dates mostly from the 19th  century, or so I am told.  It was a good day.
