Swans in the Park Near a Canal in Medieval Bruges - Stockfoto

Swans and ducks gather in a park that lies next to one of the canals coming off Minnewater Lake leading into the medieval city of Bruges, Belgium. It is overcast on a late November morning and the beautiful architecture of the period can be seen in the background. The Wijngaard Bridge is seen on the left, leading towards the entrance to the Begijnhof which housed the Beguinage (a community of single or widowed women who wanted to live in a pious way outside the walls of a convent or monastery). The tallest peak seen in the picture belongs to the Church of Our Lady Bruges. Several people can be seen standing on the bridge but they are too small to recognize any details. This is one of several pictures in a series found under several different submission dates.
