This photo was taken just after sunset during the so-called blue quarter which provides a nice contrast between the purple-blue sky and the yellow color of the lights illuminating the buildings.
Some more background on this location:
When you enter the search term Bruges in google, chances are very high that the first picture you see is one of this classic: The Rozenhoedkaai.
It is also the most photographed spot of the beautiful medieval city and you can immediately see why! You have a wonderful view of the Belfry and if the weather is nice and there is not too much wind you get a perfect reflection of the historic buildings in the water of the Dijver, one of the "canals" that crosses Bruges. Speaking of the canals, a visit to this West Flemish city is not complete without taking a boat trip through the city. You'll find several providers for a canal cruise including here at the Rozenhoedkaai.
The city of Bruges also has a few nicknames including "Bruges that Scone" and "Venice of the North".
I offer several versions of the Rozenhoedkaai in my shop. Be sure to browse the "Bruges" album for other compositions or color treatments.

When I'm on the road I always have my camera with me because you never know what an opportunity will present itself and it would be a shame not to be able to capture that perfect moment. I like to look..
