again

This light fitting, identical in shape if not angle-viewed-from from the one posted a few days ago is being posted in preference to a view of the exterior of the Belfort's tower (the interior of which was posted yesterday) as though it fails in originality it at least feels like something I wanted to take rather than something I felt I ought to have taken. The Belfort was a splodge-together of two shots as it's too tall to get it in frame on a DX-cropped view through a 24mm and the three-shot splodge-together (even after bothering to spend five minutes cloning some buildings to get a crop where the width is at least equal to the height) doesn't look quite right. Better for people with wider lenses or access to the tops of the tall buildings on the other side of the square to do that sort of thing.

Still not happy with it, though it's getting late. Might do collage at some point seeing as I forgot about a bunch of pictures taken earlier in the day which were hiding behind a bunch I was ignoring as they're for the work photo club competition this month. Unfortunately most existing edits are weird sizes and would need to be re-edited to be easily arranged.

Although the little central canal-ringed portion of Bruges is far from being the entirity of the city/town it sticks out on the map (which Nicky has already found to be much smaller on the ground that it appears on paper) and seemed a reasonable thing to saunter round in order to see a couple of different bits. We'd seen a few longish cargo boats floating past and the north end of the central network contains what would appear to be turning circles for narrowish but oddly long-seeming boats. Although the path round the north end of the central section is just pavements-by-roads there's nothing too unpleasant and there are a few little greeny-tree sections here and there before the proper tree-lined path resumes two-thirds of the way up the west side. After noting that she'd seen no squirrels or pigeons anywhere yesterday Nicky spotted a rabbit today, though it looked a bit large to be a normal wild rabbit even though the Belgians apparently like breeding vast rabbits and occasionally make the news for creating rabbits which weight more than dogs, even dogs which are usually bigger than rabbits rather than the small dogs which a weird number of people round here seem to favour in preference to large, normal dogs (though I'm not complaining about a lack of large dogs). Perhaps the narrow, poky houses favour smaller, less galumphing dogs.
