FAVOURITE PLACE… DAMME

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY
Yes, a big favourite place for us in Flanders.
A MUST ON OUR VISIT.
Such a lovely silence except for the rustle of the majestic Elm- and tall Poplar leaves.
Those cathedral like trees (the flat landscape needed these ‘wind-stoppers’), dappled light, and again, the silence only broken by a bumblebee, a bird, a distant moo, the shutter of the camera.
A few miles from Brugge and the coast, you have the small town of Damme.
In the Middle-Ages, this used to be the harbour of Brugge, one of the wealthiest cities in the North.
Due to silt the North Sea is now about 25 miles out, but Damme retained its reputation for good food and beer, wonderful old buildings full of the history of revolutionary Flanders.
Centuries later Napoleon saw the importance of the area and ordered a system of canals to be built.
Today, whichever road you come from, if you want to get to Damme, you'll drive along those beautiful treelined canals.
Here, all the rows of trees, bordering both a cycle/walking path and a bridle path, what an impressive sight.
Have a lovely day, M, (*_*)
