Oh, you cruel man!!! More pictures of lovely, lovely Bruges. I can almost smell the Croques Monsieur and taste the Hoegaarden!

I can see we must visit Bruges. There's an air of Amsterdam about it.
It's beautiful!

It's smaller and more manageable than Amsterdam.

Ooh, lovely. Beautiful place, clear light, and good pics.

Thanks.

I am utterly entranced by that little door opening right onto the canal.

It's like something out of The Hobbit or The Wind in the Willows

There's a certain ambience that Tolkien and Grahame (and other writers too) caught so well that even things they never wrote about seem obviously to be part of it.

Bruges is a magical city.

As usual, you have an impeccable eye, sir. I could not wait for your return, knowing you would regal us with such breathtaking photography, and you have not disapppointed.

In our small-world department, one of my old schoolmates is traveling to Brussels this week, from his home in Arizona.

Thank you.

We didn't get to Brussels. There was so much we failed to see.
