Bonifacius bridge
The characterful surroundings of the Bonifacius bridge and the adjacent Arentshof will appeal to many visitors. Here you will find an irresistible combination of impressive history and warm romance. The Arentshof, lying along the picturesque canals, creates a unique atmosphere.
Much visitors are on this place passed.

Hello John,
You have very successfully combined some beautiful old architecture with a lively human presence. I like how the boat full of tourists is going on a diagonal under the bridge, seen on an opposing diagonal and also full of people. The bridge is very elegant, and so are the buildings behind it. Maybe this was a kind of snapshot, but you timed it well and the exposure is perfect.
Kind regards,
Gert

Dear John,
So, no pictures of the snow so far? :) I have an image taken at the same place with a fish-eye lens.

Hello John
A superb shot of the Bonifacius bridge, with the boat full of tourists providing an excellent focal point. The additional tourists on the bridge counterbalance the composition. Tfs!

Hi John,
You have captured well the movement of the tourist boat. The point of view is showing the details of the bridge, of the church and of the buildings. Have a nice day.

Hello John,
Oh my, the tourists are riding in open boats even in December. All the more power to them! I am not too sure about that bearded young man on pinnacle of the bridge, he seems ready to spit on the boat, the rascal!

Bonjour, cher ami John,
C'est amusant de voir que le spectacle s'effectue des deux cτtιs (depuis le bateau, et depuis le pont).
Une prise de vue trθs rιussie (spectacle architectural et humour).
P.S. : J'ai eu ιgalement deux Renault 4 cv d'occasion ΰ mes dιbuts, elles m'ont rendu bien des services !
Amitiιs.

Hallo John,
Een heel goede foto die een mooie indruk geeft van het leven in de stad. Zelfs in de winter zijn er nog voldoende toeristen in de stad te vinden voor een rondvaart. Samen met de mensen op het bruggetje zorgen ze voor een levendige sfeer. De oude architectuur van o.a. de kerk geeft een mooi achtergrond.

Hello John,
You have shown us tourists seeing the city in different ways; some by boat, some on foot. The two methods combine neatly in your photograph, the boat leads to the bridge and the bridge leads to the buildings.
The details are very well captured, looking even better on the Beta site, where size and clarity are much improved.
I am amazed just how many tourists are still present, cruising on the canal, even in winter! Well, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, it is a beautiful city at any time!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

You have at least three subjects in your photo: a beautiful bridge, a great architecture behind it and people watching the city from a boat on the canal, a great combination, very well captured

Humen presence on this picture, both on the boat and upon the bridge, are the essence of this scene, wonderfully collected with the old town sights around, John.
I actually see people were smiling. Cheers,

Hallo John,
Deze had ik gemist. Ik kende de naam van de brug niet maar heb er zelf ook foto's van die ik ooit wel eens wilde opladen.
Het is een bijzonder pittoreske hoek van Brugge en met een beetje geduld kan je er een boot met toeristen bij nemen.
Ik denk dat ik mijn foto's van de overzijde links genomen heb. Waarom ik deze hoek niet uitgeprobeerd heb, weet ik niet.
Uitstekende compositie en scherpte.
Mooi gepresenteerd.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hallo John!
This photo brings back nice memories to me. Some years ago I also have had such a boat trip in Bruges - and I remember this place very well. I like how you were able to include all these venerable and worth seeing buildings around.
John, have a nice weekend!
Greetings from wet, cold and grey Westphalia! In the mountains here snow has a height of 40 cm!

Hallo John, the photo shows two types of visitors : some of them prefer staying on the old bridge in stone whereas the others discover the canal by boat. A lively atmosphere. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.
