On morning walks, peaceful moments unfold.

Wherever I travel I try to get out early in the morning and capture a place before the hustle of the day begins. Often the only life stirring is birds and delivery trucks.

This walk is not at the crack of dawn, but Brugge (or Bruges) in North West Belgium, no longer has much hustle other than as a sleepy historic tourist town. A busy trading center 800 years ago, the Zwin channel that connected it to the sea silted up, cutting off the towns’ major trade route.

Although it was occupied by the Germans in both wars, it suffered very little damage. This makes it a great place to visit for history and architecture lovers.

Thanks again to Mary Chang Story Writer for the
