Tourists back a Bruges (photograph Saturn afternoon)

The Arentshof in the Belgian city of Bruges is a garden adjacent to the Arentshuis.

History
The 18th-century classicist house of the noble Arents family is located between the Groeninge Museum and Gruuthuse Museum. Until the 17th century it was still part of the Gruuthuse domain.

In the eighteenth century it was owned by Valentin de Stappens de Harnes (1713-1777), sheriff of Bruges. After him it became the residence of his son, Louis-Philippe de Stappens de Harnes, and his wife Petronilla van Outryve. When de Stappens had to sell the property due to debt, it was bought by his brother-in-law Emmanuel-Louis van Outryve d'Ydewalle.

By the end of the nineteenth century, the house and garden were owned by Aquilin Arents de Beerteghem. The city council then ruled that he should acquire this property in order to give it a museum function and to make the garden public. Much against the wishes of the owner, the property was expropriated in 1908.

The garden was redeveloped and was given a double connection to the street in square, called Groeninge. In addition, a new bridge, which was given the name Sint-Bonifaciusbrug, was built above the Reie in 1911, which provided a connection with the other part of the Arentshof, with exits to the former Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerkhof-North, now Guido Gezelleplein, and to Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerkhof-South. In this second part, a bust of the Spanish-Bruges philosopher Juan Luis Vives was placed.

I hope you like it

Hello John,
You were lucky to time the yellow persons and the dog with the arrival of the horse carriage and others leaving the Arentshuis. There is a clear sense of activity which benefits the photo. The day was very dull but the colours are well saturated and seem to be more intense thanks to the contrast with the grey sky. I like the wet cobblestones that catch some reflections from the raincoats.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hallo John,
In de buurt van de Bonifaciusbrug, vermoed ik.
Het weer wilde niet echt mee die dag. Een overtrokken lucht, regenjassen aan en met de kap op het hoofd. De natte straatstenen liggen er glimmend bij.
Je slaagde er nogmaals in om een paardenkoets in beeld te krijgen.
Mooie compositie, uitstekende scherpte en helderheid.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hi John,

You have captured well the movement of the carriage with the horse and the person walking her dog. The point of view is showing the details of the garden and of the buildings. The cloudy sky is giving a good contrast to the colors of the picture. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Hello John,
That pooch has a fluffy tail. I like the sheen of the wet cobblestones. The horse is noble looking.
Regards,
MT

Hi John
A well captured image love everything about it even though it looks so moody and greyish, and tx to your in-depth narratives. The interactive people lend the bits of punchy element, great framing and excellent perspective.
Best regards

Hi John,
nice composition with these people, dog and horse ... good depth and interesting ground with these paving stones, tfs.

ChrisJ (171252) 2021-11-06 8:41

Hallo John

The couple walking their dog and the bg horse and carriage add good focal points. Perfect sharpness and the recent rain has darkened the colours of the pavement and allowed reflections. I like the diffused light too. Tfs!

Hallo John,
Een regenachtige dag, maar toch waren er voldoende mensen op straat om er een levendige foto van te maken. De vooral nog groene bomen met toch hier en daar wat gele tinten en de gele jassen van ouder en kind zorgen voor kleur bovendien. Mooie foto met een goede compositie.

Hello John,

The wet weather has not compromised the quality of your photographs! In this case, the wet cobbles and the yellow rain jackets added excellent atmosphere to your well composed photograph. I like how the cobbles lead so naturally to the horse carriage.
The abundance of vegetation adds to the ambience of the scene.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Good morning John,
The rain had given exquisite shine to the paved trails and trees. The horse and carriage with the people around added life to the lovely autumn scene.
Have a nice new week,
Ike

Hi John,
lovely street scene.. I like how well you always manage to capture the rainy day mood in your photos. The wet pavement adds some reflections in the foreground. Th carriage introduces a stylish aspect.
Very well seen and captured,
M
