now tell me why do people call a patch of earth "salty"? Admittedly, the sea borders this part of the Belgian coast, but is that enough of an explanation? Zoute - zoute means salty in Flemish and that's where the highlight of the weekend is. In Knokke, classy, isn't it?
The Zoute Grandprix like every year and, like every year again, it's Bonhams who appears at the scene - luckily for us! This year Bonhams is again bringing nine beautiful Prancing Horses - to be offered on the salty shore, pardon me, het zoute kust
Pictures, as always at Bonhams' auctions, gorgeous again in today's slide show, thanks to friends in London!
