Bruges
Taken during a dark day, no rain but a little bit misty atmosphere.
The Golden Handrei. A narrow river
The Golden Handrei is a watercourse and a street in Bruges. The rei runs, as an extension of the Augustijnenrei, from the Torenbrug to the Langerei. The eponymous street is on the south bank. The Golden Handrei is spanned by the Tower Bridge and the Golden Hand Bridge.
The Golden Handrei was originally called the "Sint-Gillisreitje", after the neighboring Saint-Gilles parish in the north. Later, after 1700, the rei was named after a house in the Gouden-Handstraat.
I hope you like it

Hallo John, this river crosses an urban area in Bruges. The local architecture mixes old and new buildings. The pov provides a good depth. The passersby enjoy the promenade going along the canal on the right. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hello John,
A fine photo in your classic style. There is a long line of beautiful buildings on each side of the canal, and those on the far side are perfectly reflected in the water. The dull weather had no bad effect at all n the colours. They are wonderfully clear and natural, and the photo is as always perfectly sharp.
Kind regards,
Gert

Witaj John!
A beautiful fragment of town.
The buildings and canal make impression.
I like framing, perspective and colors.
Light and reflections add flavor to this picture.
Well done.
Good evening.

Hello John,
A lovely composition, where the converging lines guide us succinctly from the f/g to a strong vanishing point. It also creates a superb sense of depth and composition.
The buildings are eclectic and, are beautifully reflected in the slightly shimmering water of the canal.
There aren’t many people but the two figures that are visible on the canal path set the scale well. My warm regards,
Bev 😊

Hallo John,
Ook op een grijze en bewolkte dag als deze zijn de spiegelingen in het water schitterend, natuurlijk ook omdat het water zo kalm was. De verschillende huizen vormen een heel mooi stadgezicht, dat goed in balans ook.

Hi John,
The length of the river is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the buildings. There is a good contrast between the colours of the picture. Have a nice day.

Hi John
A good photo of what looks like a largely tourist free part of Bruges. A beautiful scene that tourists should be taking in.

Hi John.
As long as it goes, the canal takes a good stretch of the city for those who enjoy taking a walk alone or with a dog. A quiet atmosphere here, the two human figures enhance the frame. Typical winter grey colours, still warm enough to enjoy the outdoors. TFS!!!

Hi John
A great way to explore the waterways of the city on a lovely day and I love the calming effect, water reflections and colours rendition. The two tiny figs is indeed a superb addition to finish off. First class composition and a good sharp image. Congrats
Best regards

Bonjour, cher ami John,
il règne un calme absolu le long des quais aux maisons anciennes chargées d'histoire;
Le canal reflète le temps qui passe.
C'est beau !
Amitiés.

a long perspective of this canal with the many façades ahead. I liked the reflections and diagonals and the presence of those last houses ahead.

Hi John
Its interesting how some of these views you show us have SOOOO many people, then others have almost no people. the misty rainy air gave you a great diffused lighting, nothing wrong with that. I quite enjoy that. lots of depth, lots of color and reflections too. charming. cheers

Hallo John,
Good linear perspective, with the canal guiding the eye towards the vanishing point on the horizon. The fern clad side of the embankment adds a nice splash of green. Tfs!

Hello John,
The canals in Buges are so charming. I'm sure you could make a whole book just showing photos of them. :-) I am studying the architecture on either side of the water, and I like the different styles. Nice depth and reflections, too.
