About the artwork

A few minutes before this shot, the sun was shining right into my lens, making it almost impossible to capture the scene. But then a huge cloud came and covered the sun and made the beautiful sun rays visible. ⛅

Another photographer who was there before I arrived and was also photographing the sunset, had left in the meantime so he missed the most beautiful part of the sunset. That's why I always stay as long as possible. You never know what nature will do. I even got some birds flying by!

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 beautiful stepped gables and the Church of Our Lady 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".
