St Anne's blush

Sint Anna ter Muiden is a cute village in Zeeland that with its 50 or so inhabitants competes for being the smallest in the Netherlands. As a harbour connected with Bruges in the middle ages, it was once an important commercial centre. The massive 14th-century gothic church tower (parttime lighthouse) still reminds us of these former days of glory. Lit by the morning sun, in the mountains we could speak of alpenglow, but since there are no mountains in Zeeland, let's keep it to St. Anne's blush. The ancient market place with its late 18th-century water pomp and cobblestones is a remarkable bit of time traveling.
