Ostend – Belgian seaside

If you’re going to visit the belgian seaside, chances are you’ll pass in Ostend. The biggest city on the seaside has seen better days, I think it isn’t a beautiful place to visit. It is very grey, looking a little depressed. Not so much nature to see, only those old appartment buildings. If you take a good look, you can see more and more appartments and stores to rent, to buy.

Some street art painters decided to make something out of all those old walls in the city, they made a street art contest out of it. Hereby some impressions…

„Rock strangers“, those funny sculptures in Oostende. Looking like trashcans. One cannot pass without taking a picture!
