Happy Daffodil Friday! (HFF)
A bunch of daffodils with Oostkerke's imposing Saint Quinten's Church in the background. The 7th century Guthago - said to be the son of either an Irish or a Scottish king - lived as a pelgrim nearby and converted people to christianity. He was buried in Oostkerke and after miracles took place near his grave his relics were placed in the existing church. In 1159 he became Saint Guthago after being canonized.
The flat towers of three villages near Bruges, Oostkerke, Damme and Lissewege, are quite unique.
