Vive la Fête 🇧🇪

For many years now, Vive la Fête has ensured an exciting musical party on stage. Since 1997, the Belgian band of Danny Mommens (ex-bass player of dEUS) and Els Pynoo has been bringing danceable electro-rock, with a touch of kitsch and some new wave and French chanson lurking in the background.

Maastricht 🇳🇱

Maastricht is a city and a municipality in the southeastern Netherlands. It is the capital and largest city of the province of Limburg. Maastricht is located on both sides of the Meuse, at the point where the Jeker joins it. Mount Saint Peter is largely situated within the city's municipal borders.

The story

Next weekend will be very busy – visiting Vive la Fête again and combining it with a photo journey in Antwerp and Brussels. I didn’t want to leave you guys without any photography updates, so I decided to take a quick stroll through a sunny but icy-cold Maastricht. I used a recipe loaded into the Ricoh GR III that simulates a vintage print look.
