This capture was taken on October 22th, 2022 on the occasion of a Fall photo shoot to Bruges, Belgium.
The tower on the left has the Dutch name (in this part of Belgium the Dutch language is spoken) 'Poertoren' aka 'de grote toren' (the latter is a nickname) (In English: gun powder tower aka the big tower).
The tower was built in 1397-1398. The tower was an integral part of the fortification/ramparts around Bruges, but in 1477 it became a storage place for gunpowder.
On the right side of the tower you can see the 'Minnewaterbrug'. On the other side of the bridge there was a smaller version of the 'Poertoren', but this tower was demolished. Behind the bridge there's the Church of Our Lady.

The sky, the middle, and the water reflections, all contribute to a perfect picture, Mr C.

What a gorgeous, classic shot. Nice finishing touch with that V of birds in the background. There were references to this place over a 1000 years ago, what a history. I wonder how much this scene might have changed over that time, the timeless look of this photo. A favourite for me.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Simply awe inspiring scene you have captured perfectly ... what imagination and skills ... I do hope to travel there some day.
