Bruges (or Brugge), capital of West Flanders and situated in North West Belgium is a city fit for a storybook. The medieval old town is filled with cobblestone lanes, horse drawn carriages, historic buildings and quaint canals which have contributed to it's nickname of 'Little Venice of The North'. Picture perfect postcard vistas are everywhere and there are no shortage of places to stop, admire the view and feel like you have gone back in time and stepped into a real life fairytale. To the left of the image is the St Bonifacius bridge, built in 1910 but looking somewhat older, the view from atop this bridge is perhaps one of the most picturesque in Bruges, you can't fail to be enchanted in these romantic surroundings. I added a little texture to my original black and white photograph to compliment this old world scene.

I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
