Real Name: Hans Sterkendries - I was born in 1976 and grew up in a small village in Belgium. **********************
I got my first camera at the age of 12 but it wasn't untill my studies that I really got hooked. I bought myself a Canon 500N in 1997 and went digital a few years later with the Canon Digital Rebel (300D). Nowadays, I use a Canon 5D. ************************************
At age 14 I started working as a journalist for different (local) newspapers. What started as a hobby is now a profession: I'm still working as a journalist, mainly as a travel writer because it allows me to combine my job with my passion for travel. I borrowed my life's motto from Mark Twain: "travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness". Belgium is still my base camp but a lot of the time I'm on the road. Right now I have pictures from 45 different countries online, not counting Disneyland ;-). ************************************ A few years ago I wanted to share some pictures with friends of mine. I somehow discovered Panoramio and immediatly liked the idea of being able to geolocate my pictures. My goal on Panoramio is not to promote myself as a photographer: most pictures are uploaded for the pleasure of sharing them, the pleasure of showing the world. My goal is not to have all my pictures on Google Earth either. I upload all different aspects of travel: people, food, animals... ************************************
My photo titles simply state what they show. Whenever possible I use the official language of the country. My tags are in English, Dutch and in the official language(s) of the country/region. I apologise if exception are made. My mother tongue is Dutch but I also speak French, English, Spanish and bit of German, Italian and Russian. I try to express myself in my correspondent's language but when I'm in a hurry I usually choose English as a lingua franca. Xenophobic, racist or otherwise offensive comments will be removed and reported to the team. ************************************
With all the travelling going on I have little time for hobbies. This website takes up a good deal of my spare time, I love to read and watch tv series and I'm a scuba diver. You can also find me on a few online networks but this is my major web presence. ************************************ If you have a decent computer processor, hit this link to see my whole gallery: http://cestavoir.free.fr/viewer2.html?68287. For all the others there's a work in progress on http://www.panoramio.com/user/68287/tags/0

Bonjour MICHEL, je te remercie sincèrement pour avoir corrigé la position de cette photo-ci et de l'autre du même manoir.
J'ignorais la position exacte parce que j'ai trouvé ce manoir par hasard et je n'avais pas retenu son nom. En plus, au moment où je l'ai mis en ligne les cartes n'étaient pas encore si détaillées que maintenant.
Par contre, merci de ne pas raconter des bêtises.
Si tu utilises la suggestion d'un nouvel emplacement pour me DIRE qu'une photo a été mal placé ça n'aide pas du tout.
Sans nouvel emplacement il m'a resté une seule chose à faire: ignorer la "suggestion" et donc blocquer la photo à jamais parce qu'une photo peut recevoir qu'une seule suggestion.
De toute façon: je suis content que c'est résolu maintenant. J'ai également adapté le titre en fonction des infos que tu m'as donnés.
Salutations de la Belgique - Hans

Vielen Dank, myVideoMedia. Es ist wirklich ein ganz besonderes Museum, das einzige in Welt in einem alten Schwimmbad.
Grussen aus Belgien - Hans
Merci, Christian. Ca vaut vraiment la peine. Déjà rien que pour l'architecture. La collection manque des grands nom (en dehors d'un petit Roudin) mais c'est formidable ce qu'ils ont fait avec l'ancienne piscine.
Amitiés - Hans
