Most of the pictures on this site were made for it. Two were not. I have never photographed the Citadelle de Namur well enough to put my own pictures on a page about it, and there are two things on the walk that ought to be shown as they really are rather than described: a tunnel mouth cut through the rock, and the riverbed frozen at the far end in winter. Both of those are somebody else’s photographs, taken from Wikimedia Commons under a Creative Commons licence. Those licences let anyone reuse the images and require that the photographer is credited, which is what this page is for.
Both carry their credit underneath them on the home page as well. Each row below links back to the original file on Commons, where the full licence terms live.

If you are the photographer of any of these and would rather the image was not used here, write to the contact page and I will take it down.
Frequently asked questions
Can I reuse these photographs?
Not from me — I am reusing them myself. Follow the link in the table to the file on Wikimedia Commons, where the exact licence and the attribution it requires are set out. CC BY-SA in particular asks you to share any adaptation under the same terms.
Why are there no photographs of your own?
Because the ones on Commons are better. The gorge is dark, wet and narrow, which is hard to photograph and easy to do badly, and several of the people in this table have clearly gone back in different seasons to get it right.
Do the photographs show the gorge as it is now?
They show it on the day each was taken, which is the most any photograph does. The winter pictures are winter: the ice is real and so is the closed-off feeling. Conditions change, and the operator sometimes closes the gorge at short notice for safety, so check the hours before travelling.
