The World In My Eye: Belgium Bruges is a city as old as almost any in Europe. I found when visiting that things are as they have been for several hundred years, once you get off the main tourist street littered with lace and souvenir shops. I have seen photographs taken in Bruges at the dawn of photography in the middle of the nineteenth century that look identical to the ones I took during my several days there. I was charmed by the simplicity of the place, and by the wavy reflections of the stacked buildings in the canals that are constantly churned up by passing boats. Every stone, every brick are as they have been for hundreds of years, making Bruges a haven of antiquity
