I had read that there was a dragon exposition at the Gaasbeek castle and as the weather was so unusually beautiful I went there expecting big dragons all over the park.
It turned out that the dragon expositon was inside the castle and taking photos was not allowed.
So I walked around the park and castle on this warm October day.

On these mirrors the history of the castle is explained and also the place were you are.

There were lots of chestnuts in the park and people were collecting them

Hi Gattina, Thank you for such an invigorating walk! It's very green at the castle. I like your architectural shots. The photos of the road through the woods are wonderful. It seems like the perfect spot for dragons!
Too bad about the dragons but you certainly found plenty more to photograph! I love the highland cattle in the last photo. :)
What a terrific day, Gattina, and you've captured it beautifully! Such a gorgeou, interesting place to spend a day! Thanks for sharing it with us! Have a great week!

I love castles. It looks like a wonderful place to visit. Beautiful gardens too.
It's a very beautiful place, I bet it was really amazing to visit it! Thanks for sharing.
wow! A really gorgeous castle! It doesn't matter that the exhibition were inside - the outside and the garden is awesome! I love that mirror sculpture of the rider on the horse!
What a beautiful fairy tale castle and the grounds are superb. I like the mirror horses - what a splendid idea.
Hi Gattina! The park is superb, but that idea of no photos inside is more than boring... ;)
Sorry for the absence: out one week, busy on return and then caught by the flu... ;)
Blogtrotter Two is still in Algiers... Enjoy and have a great weekend!
