This picture was NOT taken in the Grand Place of Brussels, Belgium...
It is, however in Brussels - at "Mini-Europe" where they have scaled-down models of many historic buildings in the EU including this representation of the Flower Carpet / Tapis de Fleurs / Bloementapijt - currently held every other year in Brussels', Grand Place.

I did take it to the Grand Place this year for the semi-annual Flower Carpet and left it there during my visit on 8/15/10.

About 3 minutes after I left this one, I actually watched a museum employee take the photo, look at it, then walk away with it...

FOUND! 5/30/10 by Ana who writes:
"Hi!
I've found one of your pictures in the toilet of a Lebanese resto, close to Grand Place! :p I don't really remember the number (I had nothing to note it down at the time :p), but I think it was 329.... It was the picture of either a bungalow or a cottage.

I left it there. Hope someone else also finds it and plays the game.

I'm a book crosser myself, and I also used to participate in postcard crossing. So I've found your project really interesting. Hope it's giving you feedback and that it helps your artistic carrer.
...
It was a great place to "hide" it. I just saw it yesterday, so it must still be there! :D

Good luck
Ana"
