Hello,

an boardmember which I really appreciate now (after some starting querels) give me a good hint to share one of my hobbies on this board: Photography!
I enjoy taking my camera everywhere we go, and I always come back home with loads of new pics. Some are snapshots but some are also very expressive.

Let me take you to a tour from the place I live. Let's see who find out.

Streetmarket in the city

another view of a neat place where this market is held. It is called 'Place d'armes' (could be translated as Armory Place)

Click to expand...

holland has no castles !
Austria neither !

Come on people, I gave you really good keywords, plus you can see the flag, red/white/blue, and plus the fortress architect 'Vauban' and the lady statue !
These are really good keywords
 
according to my research, you live in luxenburg city.

The flags in front of the Parliament building are Luxembourg, plus the nickname of Luxembourg is "Gibraltar of the North" so I also guess Luxembourg.
