The canals of Bruges historic center illuminated during blue hour with boat trail

The canals of Bruges turn blue in the magic hour of dusk, when the lights of medieval buildings begin to reflect on the calm waters. A long exposure captures the light trail of a boat crossing the canal, creating a golden trace on the dark surface. Historic Flemish brick buildings overlook the water with their stepped gable facades typical of Flanders architecture. On the right side a lit restaurant with its terrace on the canal can be glimpsed, while a medieval church bell tower rises in the background against the cobalt sky.
