Fagne de Malchamps, Spa

Jacques Brel famously described his native Belgium as 'le plat pays qui est le mien' (the flat country which is mine). Clearly he didn't spend enough time in the Ardennes. 
The Ardennes are a popular spot for walkin.


 ... so that's what I did today. I went out walking in 'la Fagne de Malchamps' just outside Spa. The landscape of this high moorland is quite spectacular and exceptional. Although it was a foggy day ... it reminds me of Africa.
