Bruges

Bruges, located in the Flanders region of Belgium, is a picturesque city that is often referred to as the "Venice of the North." With its winding canals, cobbled streets, and medieval architecture, it's no wonder that Bruges is a popular destination for photographers. There are plenty of photography locations in Bruges, including the famous Markt square, the Belfry tower, and the Begijnhof courtyard. The city's many bridges and canals also provide stunning photo opportunities, especially during the golden hour.

This was taken a little earlier during blue hour than my previous upload of this spot. In this case, I also decided to get rid of the canal boats that lie parked on the lower side of the view. Previous photo: www.flickr.com/photos/adelheids-pictures/29869931272

Blue Bruges, Belgium (explored)
Classic Bruges
by Adelheid Smitt

The iconic picture postcard view of Bruges during blue hour. Not only is this a great view, but it is one where you don't get masses of tourists walking through your frame, as you do almost everywhere in this pretty town. I was glad to be able to get this shot on a beautiful, warm Autumn day!

Dawn in Bruges, Belgium
Spegelrei, Brugge

As with Venice (my previous upload), in Bruges it is important to start out early, in this case before the canal boats start messing with the water. The canals offer such great reflections as here on the aptly named 'Spiegelrei' (mirror canal).

So here is my second visit in Bruges, again I had a wonderful time. I made some great shots of this stunning city. The atmosphere is so pleasant, although it is very touristic, I tried to avoid this mass of people walking around. I went more to the outer sides of it. Enjoy the pics.

A good friend I know from facebook visited Belgium for the first time. She asked me what the best spots are in Belgium. I showed her Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp. This one has been taken in Bruges.

After getting a very nice blue hour shot the evening before, I decided to go back in the morning and capture this famous Bruges corner with the early sun before the daytrippers arrive. Interestingly, the colours are very similar to the previous blue hour. www.flickr.com/photos/adelheids-pictures/29869931272
