190. Rooftopping Kortrijk

After a terrible, processed meal in a chain restaurant we walked through the freezing night air to see The most famous landmark in Kortrijk, the Broel towers. They once formed part of the city wall, and were finished 600 years ago to the month. The bridge was destroyed in the first world war, then again in the secondd world war, but the towers remain unscathed.

The view from the river was fine, but there was a 7 storey building behind them, which was taller... I bet there's a better view to be had from up there.

So I made a quick stop to furnish my camera bag with a nice bottle of red (Carmenere) and a proper wine glass (I'm not an animal). Ten minutes later, still panting, we arrived onto the roof. The night was cold, but we were wrapped up. I poured myself a large glass, selected the 'Chill' playlist, and settled in with some 'Of Monsters and Men' while I watched the city pulse below.

















This ladies and gentlemen is a photograph of an idiot.



The puddles on the roof which had started to form a thin skin of ice were now solid ice, telling us that it was time to go.

On the way back down I noticed the light in one of the upper rooms was absolutely fantastic, so we stopped off for a few snaps:



Cheers for looking:
