 Antwerp Belgium : 
 Another great train station card !  .I just love these cards from the great Railway Stations of the world. This card is of  one  of the most ( reputed to be )  nicest train stations in the world.Railway Stations..  when truly loked at ,are some of the most beautiful buildings around the world , as so many are so old their architecture can be magnificent.  Most train travellers usually do not pay a lot of attention to the beauty of the station as they are always in a hurry..but ,for some, the bulidings are so magnificent ..it is difficult to miss their beauty. Thank you so much Sath for this lovely card that I can add to my collection and trust that your visit to Belgium was a wonderful trip for you.  This is a postcrossing card !
