Cheers !!


Hi, I'm Rudy aka diamonddog, you may ask why diamonddog? Well first I'm an avid admirer of David Bowie and twice living in the region of Antwerp, Belgium the city of diamonds. Working as an electronic engineer in building different payment systems. Married and have 2 fantastic kids Eve and Steven and a lovely wife Dannie.

Interest:
Have a passion for Canoeing (canadian), Travel, Hiking, Beer tasting and brewing, Photography. Photoshop and Web design.

-Photography: From the early days we where passionate to take pictures, despite the costs to develop them. But times have changed and Digital is the new standard nowadays, and since I've discovered Photoshop a whole new world opened up.
The Nikon D70 has enough to offer to shoot excellent pics.
Several albums on my fotki page and a bunch of pics on my virtual tourist pages.

-Canoeing: Several canoe-hiking trips made with friends to Poland, Denmark, Sweden, France, Slovenia, Luxembourg and Netherlands.
We like to camp along the river side if possible and cook are own stuff, it's amazing how many stuff you can pack in a canadian canoe (beers included :-)).
The canoe trips are mostly weekend trips but every year we have a long-week trip.

-Beers: Living in Belgium has the advantage that, on almost every corner there's a possibility to enjoy the finest beers in the world.
Brewed by the monks, Trappist beers are without no doubt one of the most enjoyable beers to try out.
The Lambic Kriek beers are famous for there special taste and brewing method.
