EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the picturesque Quai Vert in Bruges, Belgium, circa 1920. The tranquil quay, lined with elegant 18th-century buildings, is a serene reflection of the city's rich history. Among these architectural gems stands the Maison du Pelican, an almshouse that adds a unique charm to the scene. The Maison du Pelican, also known as the Pelican House, is a historic almshouse that has been a part of Bruges' landscape for centuries. Its distinctive façade, adorned with a pelican sculpture, is a testament to the city's artistic and cultural heritage. The pelican, a symbol of charity and self-sacrifice, represents the almshouse's mission to provide shelter and care for the less fortunate. The peaceful waters of the quay mirror the reflection of the buildings and the graceful swans that glide effortlessly along the water's surface. The gentle play of light and shadow on the water adds to the dreamlike quality of the image, making it a captivating representation of Bruges' timeless beauty. Bruges, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture, picturesque canals, and vibrant cultural scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the city's rich history and appreciate its enduring allure.
