BRUGES
First Sunday after lock-down, Bruges completely empty, no people on street
Normally one of the most the crowded place of the city.
Bonifaciusbridge:
The charismatic area of Bonifaciusbridge and Arentshof has the ability to enchant many a visitor. Its irresistible combination of striking history and warm romance may take your breath away. Arentshof, located along one of the picturesque canals, manages to create an entirely unique atmosphere with its tall trees, hidden benches, mysterious pieces of art and marvellous view on Church of Our Lady and Gruuthuse palace. It’s one of those places to watch the world go by: tourist boats pass and people wander around while the clatter of hoofs from the horse drawn carriages echoes throughout the day. Don’t be fooled further ahead, for the charmed ancient looking Bonifaciusbridge dates from early 20th century and is one of Bruges’ youngest bridges. While you admire the fairy tale like canals with inclined houses and passing tourist boats a humble feeling will no doubt wash over you when looking up at the Church of Our Lady. In the evening carefully chosen illumination further enthralls this cherished lovespot.
I hope you like it

Hi John,
The reflections on the water are assets to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the buildings. The colours are beautiful. Have a nice day.

Hello John,
The colours are quite intense. The slightly dark photo has saturated them in a nice way that made this a very eye-catching picture. Apart from that this is another pretty view from Bruges. But June 13 was actually a Saturday. ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Hallo John, this canal is usually crowded with boats and tourists. The place is calm due to the lockdown. The old houses along the water have a historical value. I like their reflection and the pink flowers well included in the fg. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hallo John,
Een stil hoekje, tenminste toch toen jij er was.
Mooie compositie, aantrekkelijke kleuren met de rode bloempjes op de voorgrond naast de diepblauwe lucht weerspiegeld in het kanaal.
Uitstekende scherpte, diepte en helderheid.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello John,
What a fine viewpoint, you have chosen.
You have been able to take advantage of the converging walls, details of the canal-side houses and the lovely reflections in the mirror-like water.
Lovely, deeply saturated colours.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hallo John,
Een heel mooi gezicht op het kalme water en de prachtige oude huizen erlangs. Het licht was helder en aangenaam en zorgde voor heel mooie en diepe kleuren. Vooral het contrast tussen het groen en blauw is mooi. Prachtige spiegelingen bovendien.

Hi John
A captivating canal scene neatly aligned on a bright day light with immense detail and vivid colours - The glowing electric blue water lends a tremendous boost of colour and does look so pleasant and your camera works is spot on, Congrats.

Hello John,
An excellent note and a thoroughly magnificent photograph of this beautiful part of Bruges. Your composition is both classic and also very pleasing to the eye with the lines of the water's edge on either side providing perfect "lead in" lines, perfect framing from the tall building on the left and the tree on the right in bright green foliage, while the viewer's attention is drawn to the glorious reflections in the calm water of the canal.
Perfect exposure and exquisite details and sharpness as always.
Beautiful!
Kind Regards,
John.
