Lovely shot Pierre, and especially the way we are drawn to the swans in the middle. I had a sense that it might be tilted to the right, or is that just the perspective?

You always bring such feeling to your 'night in the city' images. There's a wonderful stillness to this one.

Great shot, lighting, composition, reflections in the water, everything works together extremely well. Have been to Ghent and Brussels several times, and wanted to see Bruges. Your photo makes me wish I had gone!

Isnt Amsterdam 'Venice of the North'? Such a wonderful night shot. The swans give an added elegance to beautiful Brugge. Must revisit :P Thanks to Pierre for bringing back memories hehe.

Bruges is one of my favorite cities. In many ways, even more romantic than Venice. Beautiful shot of the canal and the swans. Thanks for the memories!

Many have commented on this very atmospheric photo. One of the things I like best is the sense of being there, emphasized by the couple walking along the path and the person on the bench on the right.
