Bruges (Brugge) a splendid medieval city, one of Belgium's crown jewels. In no other European city the feel and the look of medieval times are so present as here in this city close to the North Sea.

Because of its canals Bruges is often called 'The Venice of the North'. The water situation in both cities was, however, very different. Venice was founded on islands in a lagoon of the Adriatic sea.  Bruges lies deeper inland ; at least now, because in the five centuries B.C the Flemish coastline must have been flooded several times by the North Sea. When the waters retreated they left behind different sea-arms via which ships could reach the area where now Bruges is situated. Bruges was probably already visited by the Vikings. The Flemish name 'Brugge' is probably derived from the Latin word 'Rogia' (which was the Latin name of the 'Reie' the river which flowed through Bruges), and the Scandinavian word 'Bryggia', which meant 'mooring place'.

Hi Tsilla,
A very nice night capture of the beautiful medieval architecture of the city of Bruges, Belgium.
A fantastic warm casting from the artificial lighting available.
Quite a sharp image and neatly presented.

Hi Tsilla,

A splendid image. Colors, contrast excellent.
A magnificent city, Brugge, which I liked very much!
Have a beautiful day,
Adrian

Hello Tsilla,

It is a beautiful place!
You really have captured part of its character with this evening view of the old style houses, close to the canal. The warm glow adds a cosiness that is almost tangible.
Nice angled shot producing a fine watery triangle in the f/g.
I like the framing which gives the appearance of a wall hung painting.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Very nice shot, and I like the frame too.
