“Mannekin Pis” – it literally translates as “Little Man Pee”.  Many stories exist as to why this statue (created in 1619) exists, and most of them have to do with little boys saving the city by either peeing on a fire or of one sticking his “privates” into a appropriately sized hole to stop the city from flooding.

    1. Thanks so much. I love that shot too. I took a ton of street art shots and decided just to include my favorite.

  1. Pete, great pictures! Seems you all had the exact same gray skies that plagued us all through August. Luckily now it seems we all get to enjoy some sun for a bit.

    Thank you for inspiring me and my photos!

    1. Thanks Warren, yes it was dreary gray the whole time in Brussels, minus a couple moments where the sun peeked out. We are most definitely enjoying the sunshine now. Enjoy Brussels again 🙂 PS you should come up to Amsterdam for Mexican next week and we can finally meet!! 😉

    1. Thanks Christy, that was a difficult shot as the skies were really crappy that day. But I’m pretty happy with the final result.

  2. Love these! I can’t say I’ve read much about Brussels before, so your posts about it have been very welcome! It does indeed look like a pretty cool city!

    1. Cheers Michael, I put a lot of time into these ones and am pretty happy with them.
