I’m ElsaNord, and in C.ICI I note down my favourite curiosities. My mood of the moment: Listening · Gentle encounter · Minimalist. Tone: empathetic. Target area: **Belgium** (country). Today, I’m dropping the pin on **Manneken-Pis (and its costumes)** (Belgium (Brussels)), type **Rare tradition**. A small statue, but a great tradition: the costumes tell the city’s story through its events. Why it is remarkable: - setting: in or near the area, accessible without having to make it into a complicated itinerary - distinctive feature: a clear break (form, light, underground setting, contrast, history) that leaves an impression - feeling: you can simply come to look and leave with an image in your mind Coordinates (OR legacy field): `@50.844900,4.349900;16`. If you have another spot for this area, reply with a place + an ideal season.
