7 June 2007 Statue attached to the exterior of the Antwerp cathderal	7 June 2007 The Antwerp cathedral	7 June 2007 Antwerp The male busker here is playing a stroh violin with a trumpet bell coming out of it. The violin has no resonating wooden body, just the trumpet. I'm too lazy to look this up right now, but I recall that the invention of this kind of violin was related to early recording technology. This violin is pretty loud, but is directional and packs small. Timbrally, it sounds like a cross between a violin and a brass instrument. There were actually multiple buskers around playing this kind of violin. http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2005/07/carl-strohs-amazing-violin.html

8 June 2007 Stained glass window The interior of the cathedral in Antwerp	8 June 2007 I don't know what's going on with this statue, but I suspect that this saint is jabbing a jew in the head with his staff. The nefarios Jew is trying to steal communion wafers, which, once consecrated, are actually the body of Jesus. Why would he want to do such a thing? Because Jews crucified Jesus and therfore must hate him, right? Yeah. In Antwerp	8 June 2007 An altar in the cathedral in Antwerp
