I have previously blogged photographs of the Belgian City of Bruges (q.v.) 3 months ago on August 14th.  I made a further long weekend visit there the following year, and present below a different set of photographs of its stunning views, architecture and history . . .

  2. A wonderful City Roland and one in which I proposed to Mrs.D. We were there when they were filming the film In Bruges, which is a brilliant film, if you haven’t seen it. Thank you for the excellent post and reigniting happy memories.

  3. Roland, thank you for taking us on another tour of Bruges. If your pictures a true 😊 It is a rather stunning place. These canals just draw me in. I love seeing the women making lace in
    this time honoured way.
    The poem in the closed restaurant window is great. So immediate.
