Bruges, close up

In this gallery I have focussed on some of the many delightful details - architectural, historical or simply whimsical - demanding to be noticed as we criss-crossed the streets of the venerable city of Bruges (Brugge) for two weeks during summer 2014. This published article describes my experiences in Bruges.
