Moerbrugge, Oostkamp, Belgium.
One of the oldest canals in Flanders (13th century), connecting Bruges with Ghent, it provides Bruges with water for its famous canals - without it, no Venice of the North! Both banks between Oostkamp and Beernem, are now a nature area, curated by Natuurpunt.

The 'Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde' with its white-coloured house fronts and tranquil convent garden was founded in 1245. This little piece of world heritage was once the home of the beguines, emancipated lay-women who nevertheless led a pious and celibate life. Today the beguinage is inhabited by nuns of the Order of St. Benedict and several Bruges women who have decided to remain unmarried.

MSC PSA European Terminal (MPET), the largest container terminal in the Port of Antwerp, handling more than 12.000 containers a day.
The horse in the front is a Belgian horse, a kind of draught horse. For centuries, these strong horses were used by farmers to pull carts, plough fields, etc. As most have been replaced by tractors, their number has dwindled dramatically. This mare is kept on a farm called "Hoeve Hangerijn" in Assebroek, Bruges, and it has been allowed to keep its long tail.
The horse in the background is of another breed.
The photo was taken on a sunny November day, in late afternoon.
