A night perspective of Rozenhoedkaai captures the magical atmosphere of Bruges during the Christmas period. The tree at the center of the scene is wrapped in hundreds of lights creating a cascade effect, perfectly reflected in the still waters of the canal. Ancient Flemish merchant houses with their red brick facades and typical dormers frame the scene, while in the background the Gothic profile of the Church of Our Lady can be glimpsed. The intense blue sky of blue hour creates an evocative contrast with the warm tones of artificial lights, giving the image a fairytale atmosphere.
