twitterGroot – Bijgaarden Castle and Gardens Photos.
This past weekend I visited the Castle and gardens at Groot-Bjigaarden (Grand Bigard in French), just outside of Brussels. It was a stunning springtime location and included my two favourite photography subjects – beautiful gardens and beautiful architecture.
One of the beautiful architectural features of the Groot-Bijgaarden castle is this beautiful five-arched bridge over the moat. This is the only way into the grounds.
In the background of this image you can see the castle. I struggled with this one in post-processing as the castle has quite a lean to it (a common trait in older Flemish architecture). I compromised on this crop.
