BRUGGE CANAL REFLECTIONS

If you love the oldness of Europe (that's my word), then you have to visit Bruges, or Brugge as I like to call it. Brugge is the Flemish form of Bruges. Needless to say, Brugge is everything that the guidebooks tell you it is: beer, chocolate, unique architecture and postcard-pretty canals. This is one of my favorite photos from my visit: a picturesque canal, the water so still it reflected like a mirror, the houses with their burnt-orange tiled roofs reflecting on the water.

BICYCLES IN AMSTERDAM

When you think of Amsterdam, canals and bicycles are two things that pop into your head. This photo shows quintessential Amsterdam: bicycles parked on a bridge over the Prinsengracht Canal with the Westerkerk Church in the background.

DELFT CANALS

In a previous post I introduced you to the Waterlogue app. I am fascinated with its ability to take a photograph and turn it in a beautiful watercolor painting.

I visited the city of Delft during a trip to the Netherlands in 2010. Although the weather was awful that day with a cold, windy, drizzly rain, I thought Delft was such a charming city with its small canals and the beautiful Oudekerk and Nieuwekerk churches. I love this scene. It shows the architecture of the narrow buildings fronting the small canal, the wet, brick street next to the canal, the small bridges over the canal and bicycles which are so quintessentially Dutch.
