This is how the Belgian city of Ghent (Gant in French) was looking on the last days of 2007 when we visited it.
I was impressed by the wonderful Flemish architecture of the buildings along the Leie river. This picture was shot from the St. Michielsbrug and this showing the beautiful promenades Korenlei and Graslei. In the background can be seen the Castle of the Counts of Flanders.

Hello Sorina,
That is a wonderful composition. Very good contrast. A fantastisches picture.
Kind regards.

Hello Sorina,
Good point of view and the canal gives a fine lead-in to the scenery!
It is interesting to see how the ancient tower in the back is the only structure that is properly hit by the sunlight...
A well composed image with good colours!
Greetings,

Hello my friend Germany...

Beautiful capture and visual!
I like the composition, and of the houses whole committees composing a beautiful scenery. and still more the margins of this beautiful channel. Very romantic!
Congratulations for the beautiful presentation..

Hi Sorina. I have visited Bruges and I share your love of the old Belgian architecture. This looks so familiar. This is well composed, I think many would have crossed the bridge and taken the shot straight along the canal but this arrangement is much more interesting showing the curve and more of the frontage of the buildings. Good work.

Hello Sorina,
AHA...nice to see this familiar cityscape :-)
Nicely composed with canal. TFS

Hallo Sorina,

Your composition is fantastic. The selection of view point and fine details are adding more charm of vision. The luminosity on the castle's watch tower is interesting. An excelletn shot my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Hello Sorina
A wonderful image that I class in the WOW category, a lovely point of view with the promenades on both sides of the river and all those beautiful and colorful buildings. Nice point of view with that curve in the river. A good place to enjoy life.
Thanks for sharing.
Serge

A fine photo here Sorina
Gent is a town a passed so many times on my way south ..to family in the Provence..to be honest your photo made me change my mind!!
Next time I am there I will see the town.
Your 'water' lead in here is very strong/nice and sharp as always from you.
Good poster photo for the Tourist information Offices :-)
Have fun in the snow and 'sevus'

Hello Sorina !

I visited Ghent back in 1978 !!!!! If you click on Ghent ( the city link above ) you will see my souvenir (*_^)posted earlier on TL.

Amazing place. Too bad , I did not have much time to visit the City when I was there , I visited a friend South of Brussels.

I like the curved canal giving us a great perspective and leading line inviting us to explore the whole photo. Well done.
Robert

Bonjour Sorina
Une composition bien équilibrée aux couleurs douces agréables et très bonne netteté du cliché.
Bonne soirée.
Cordialement
Gildas

Love how the curve of the water just leads your eye right back to those marvelous houses! Really nice shot Sorina! nice sharpness and I love the reflections in the water!
