This photo was taken while walking in Bruges, Belgium. A canal runs between the two sides of the street so the houses that are seen in the window reflections are actually across the canal on the other side. If Bruges is not on your bucket list, might I be so bold as to suggest you add them. You won’t regret it. 🙂
———–
“Bruges, the capital of West Flanders in northwest Belgium, is distinguished by its canals, cobbled streets and medieval buildings. Its port, Zeebrugge, is an important center for fishing and European trade. The city-center Markt features horse-drawn carriage rides and 17th-century houses converted into restaurants and cafes, as well as the 13th-century belfry with its 47-bell carillon and 83m tower with panoramic views.”

I like how this lovely specimen is bathed in ice cold blue light! What a pretty “rose window” too. I wonder if it would be annoying to have that canal barricading your access to the other side of the street, or, more likely, they just get used to it. Nicer to look at than a busy highway, I suppose! Amazing to think of how many years this door has stood there, solidly built, letting generations and generations pass through its entry!

For the non-travelers, how do you cross the street with a canal? Are there just a couple of places to cross , far from one another?

Yes, you are correct. About every so often, about the equivalent of a block to two blocks, there will be an arching bridge across the canal for both foot traffic, bicycles, and cars. The word that comes to mind is charming. 🙂

I love how the curves are carried through from the steps to the door and transom and arch. This is a wonderful entrance.

Now THAT’S a door!
I used to stub my toes all the time while walking in Florence, Dublin and other cities with great doors.

It should keep inching up. Think gorgeous architecture, Belgian chocolate stores on every corner, horse-drawn carriages, canals, flowering window boxes, pastries, cheese, and so many varieties of beer it is hard to choose one so you have to keep going back. 🙂

Beautiful lines in that photo – curved and straight ones combined so well. I visited Bruges once, about 40 years ago – would love to go again.
