Bruges, Belgium

Bruges (Brugge) is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO and is sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North" along with other canal-based cities like Amsterdam.
Bruges has done its best to preserve the medieval-looking image of the city, although not every stone in Bruges has come straight from the Middle-Ages. The 19th century neo-gothic style is more present than one should think. Because of these 19th century renovations, some critics have put Bruges down as a 'fake' medieval city. Nevertheless, the combination of old, not so old and new fascinates everyone who first sets foot in Bruges.
This is my third attempt to capture this city in a good light. It's a hit or miss visit for me, and finally hit a good blue hour this time around. With this area being so small, I did not find much room to create more diverse shots. This boat quay is the most popular point to take photos, creative or snapshots alike. This is where tourists take boat rides along the canals of Bruges.
