HI Tjebbe...This is a very beautiful album. I love the old architecture. I love the photos "View of the Belfort" and the one beside it. They are beautiful. I love the view from the Belfort, the canal, the horse and carriage photo, the church is beautiful inside. I like the museum, the little shops with colourful buildings, the house like a castle is wonderful, and I would not mind to live there. I am having a lot of difficulty right now to view the photos, but hopefully they wil let me see them all. The quiet street is wonderful. I like that type of street. I like your photo of Begijnehof with a park like setting. I have downloaded all of these so far. I like all the photos of the market and town square. I love all the views from the Belfort. Just beautiful. I love how you ended your album with the photos of Queen Astrid Parc. I enjoyed this album very much and feel like I took a tour with you. hugs and love, Barbara

Hallo Tjebbe! Vielen Dank für die wunderschöne Stadtrundfahrt, die wir sehr genossen haben. Fast hatten wir das Gefühl, in einer Pferdekutsche oder in einem Boot zu fahren und all die hübschen Gebäude, Strassen, Restaurants so gemütlich ansehen zu können. Sehr schöne Fassaden, vor allem diejenige der 'Basilic of Het Heilig Bloed' und vom 'Gruuthuse Museum'. Herzlichen Dank auch für die netten Guestbook entries in unsern Albums! Mit lieben Grüssen, Heinz und Käthi

Hi Tjebbe, Ik ben blij dat ik de eerste Nederlandse bijdrage mag leveren aan deze nieuwe parel aan je albumketting. Prachtig album; de goede composities, prima belichting, ook in de schaduwen en verrassende standpunten (zelfs in torens ) maken dat dit album blijft boeien tot het eind. Binnen in de kerk ook prima belicht. Ik kwam veel bekende plekjes tegen. Het "digitale weer" heeft er zeker ook toe bijgedragen dat dit weer een toppertje is. Proficiat. Glenn

Hoi Tjebbe; proficiat met deze zeer fraaie en interessante serie !! Lang geleden heb ik ook eens een wandeling gemaakt in Brugge. Dank je wel voor het opfrissen van mijn geheugen. Ik heb met veel plezier gekeken naar je PRACHTIGE prenten en de teksten zijn heel duidelijk; je hebt er werk van gemaakt ! Groetjes, Els

Thanks for your visit and mainly for your compliments at my album! Believe me receive a good comment it's a true gift for me. I'm sad that now I have only a slow connection (I'm in vacation and I have only a mobile telephone) and I can't browse all shots in your album like I would. Anyway I must send you my compliments for your beutiful shots and for this great trip that you make for us!Have a NICE day and again compliments! Ruggero

Hallo Tjebbe, een heel mooi album van een inderdaad prachtige stad, ja de mooiste stad van Belgie. Ben je al in Gent geweest? We komen toch wel met enige regelmaat in Brugge, vanuit het zuiden, maar nu alweer een tijdje geleden. Je had prachtif weer gelukkig. De foto's zijn heel mooi geworden, vooral het Christusbeeld in de basiliek vind ik zeer mooi getroffen. Groeten, Hanneke

said hanneke176 2004.08.01 at 11:59:26 PDT

Tjebbe, voor mij zijn Brugge en Venetië de bijzonderste steden van Europa. Volgende maand ga ik trouwens weer eens naar Venetië. Ik kom daar sinds 1955. En ik ben blij dat jij niet aangestoken bent door het copyright-virus...

said sante1 2004.08.01 at 12:38:44 PDT

Hi Tjebbe! This is a great album! I loved your perspectives. The Belfort tower is an amazing structure and how you got inside to photograph the gear is a wonder. The views from up there are spectacular. Thanks so much for sharing another fabulous album! Take care! Jane

I love Brugge! What a beautiful city! The entire city looks like an outdoor museum, doesn't it? Thanks for letting me visit this lovely city one more time. Greetings from California!

Hi Tjebbe, You've captured the essence of Brugge in these lovely images.I look forward to seeing more of your images when I get home to Scotland from my travels.I'll be back to view some more soon! Regards, Craig

Hoi Tjebbe, mooie en sfeervolle foto's van een prachtige stad, waar ik nodig ook weer eens naartoe moet. Groetjes, Marjon

Hi again Tjebbe, This is also a wonderful album, with a variety of beautiful captures from this tru pearl. BTW the marketstalls at Markt reinded me very much of things I saw in Madurodam park, but they are much more vivid, of course. Love the colors and compositions. Take care, Orly

Ciao Kathy.... I had a promise with you and some beautiful shots to view again :-) !! Now I have my fast connection and I can confirm my first impression.... a great album with beautiful shots and a beautiful trip in the Venice of the north street life.. My favorites are your landscapes from the tower (7, 48, 49, 50), shot 23 and the facades in 43 that remember in my mind my loved tour in Amsterdam... Have a Nice day ! Ruggero

Hoi Tjebbe!! Ik zit me nu een potje te schamen dat ik blijkbaar nog niet in dit prachtige album van je had geschreven. Die mooie heldere foto's, gave kleuren en mooi composities... het is altijd weer genieten. De fotos van de Walstraat en de markt zijn beeldschoon; vooral die van boven af... Ik voel de hoogtevrees al oplopen bij zo'n plaatje... Groetens Anna ook aan Glenn!

said annaoldenhave 2004.09.22 at 00:09:47 PDT

Liebe Tjebbe! Gerne kommen wir wieder mal in dieses interessante Album zurück. Brugge hat so viel ganz besondere Sehenswürdigkeiten! Vielen ank für die netten Guestbook entries, die uns immer sehr freuen! Falls Zeit: unsere Tochter Barbara hat eben neue Albums von Brugge eröffnet, sogar von Holland auch, auf username bao666 Mit lieben Grüssen, Heinz und Käthi

Hello Tjebbe! I really enjoyed viewing this album of Brugges. Such beautiful pictures! It rained all the time I was in Brugges, but your album made up for it. Thanks for sharing these wonderful shots. Best wishes from Keith in Sydney.

said magikeith 2004.12.11 at 17:28:44 PST

Hallo Tjebbe, mooie stad, hè, dat Brugge, ik kom er met enige regelmaat en blijf ervan genieten. Je hebt het heel aantrekkelijk op de foto gezet en ik waan me er zo weer. Mooie foto's. Ik wil jou en je gezin heel goede kerstdagen en een gelukkig en vooral gezond 2005 toewensen. Groeten, Hanneke

said hanneke176 2004.12.23 at 00:26:56 PST

Hola, Tjebbe. Hace mucho tiempo que no tenia noticias tuyas y me ha alegrado mucho volverte a leer. He vuelto a mirar tu album de Brujas, una de las ciudades europeas que me parecen mas bonitas, como de cuento de hadas, y me ha seguido pareciendo precioso. Te has comprado el diccionario español? Te mando un gran beso. Joana

said serena_100 2005.01.27 at 09:49:12 PST

Hallo Tjebbe, fantastisch mooie foto’s van deze oude stad. Een heel mooi afwisselend album. Ik heb er met heel veel plezier doorheen gebladerd. Ik vind toch dat Belgie veel mooie oude steden en stadjes heeft, en na onze laatste vakantie in Belgisch Limburg, ben ik erachter gekomen dat je daar ook fantastisch kan fietsen. Een heel plezierig land om je vakantie door te brengen. In ieder geval bedankt voor deze stadswandeling in Brugge, ik ga hem zeker nog eens live overdoen. Ik heb vorig jaar een album gemaakt over Leuven en het Groot Begijnhof daar (evanwely), ook zeker de moeite van een bezoek waard (de stad bedoel ik). Bedankt voor je lovende woorden over de Wallpaper foto’s. Ja, de Bachalpsee is prachtig, voorals vroeg in de morgen (met het eerste baantje naar boven). Groeten, Els (evanwely/wely246)

said wely246 2005.07.21 at 02:43:28 PDT

Hello Tjebbe,I discover another wonderful album on a jewel of Belgium; Do You know why the belfry is so impressive? It is because the normal perspective from the ground has been broken by the floors wider at top than at the base;That has been made to impress people; It is why, even You, use in pictures 44 & 45 the verb Dominate; I love pictures 46 (the gear), 49 the aerial view of Markt Place, the Record Office in 52, and the facade in 54; A great pleasure to re-visit also that treasured town, Thanks, Jacques

said pfjc2 2006.03.06 at 10:55:46 PST

Hola Tjebbe, Congratulations by this so beautiful album. It enchants me the architecture, the buildings, the cities, the streets, the commerce. Also they enchant me the photos because they are beautiful and they wonderfully gather the atmosphere of the city. Also thanks for your kinds words in my guestbook of Fishing Boats. You are very generous with me. Best whises for you, dear Tjebbe. Jesús.

said raijomayo100 2006.04.16 at 15:13:29 PDT

Oh Tjebbe, you really made me laugh!!!(give me some pampers!),rolling on the ground: I see myself riding around Texas yelling hiiiii,hooooo! And people would think I am nuts(crazy), which I am anyway, so I don't care. Actually we'd yell: Yeeeeehaaaawwww. You must be thinking of Hi,Ho Silver! (Was that Zoro? I forget). http://www.tmtch.net/rawhide.htm has the whole song. Thanks my friend for visiting, don't mind the language barrier, I had to learn too, you know I am from Germany! It's called Texas speak 101! Huge cowgirl hugs from Houston, Marita

said worldtripper3 2006.04.28 at 14:29:13 PDT

Sorry, Tjebbe, I needed a pause to collect myself. I forgot to comment on this awesome album! Brugge is among my most favorite small places in Europe, the title is well chosen! What a treasure! Every corner you turn it is more beautiful, and your pictures reflect that so well. You've even ventured up the Belfry, I was too much of a chicken to do that, what a view I missed. I truly love this little town, visited probably 6 times (pre-digital), and I would love to go back again, after seeing your pictures. Have a fantastic weekend, my dutch friend, I am already forward to coming back! Marita

said worldtripper3 2006.04.28 at 14:35:19 PDT

Binnenkort ga ik weer voor een weekend naar Brugge, met het bekijken van uw zeer mooie foto's kan ik nauwlijks wachten om nu al te vertrekken. Rudy uit Tongeren, Belgie.

said iledere 2006.11.05 at 01:09:23 PST

Hi Tjebbe, This is a really nice album of Brugge that you put together. This is really Belgium's little jewel. You have some very beautiful photographs here. It's been awhile since I was in Brugge, and it certainly brought back some wonderful memories. Lawrence.

said tkalych 2007.03.14 at 00:15:58 PDT

Hello Tjebbe. I have really enjoyed viewing your album. The main reason for this is that I was in Bruges last Saturday but sadly only for a couple of hours. Needless to say I wasn't able to get many photos. The good news is though that I am returning to this city for an overnight stay in a couple of weeks. I realise there is a lot I have to discover. Thanks for sharing this wonderful tour to this charming and picturesque city. Best wishes, Jayne/England

said hjaynefoster 2007.07.27 at 08:00:15 PDT

hi! your album of brugge made me re-live my trip there in april this year! what a wonderful and peaceful city, although its relationship with my country was not always a cordial one ... (maximilian and such!). I invite you to view my "journey to five wonderful cities" album! regards, franz

Dear Tjebbe, what a precious album, each photo a masterpiece, I'm tempted to leave comments on each one. Thank you for your lovely comments, you always brings joy to my heart. All the best to you!
