Three-Arched Bridge Over River Reie, Bruges

Pedestrians cross a three-arched brick bridge over a branch of the River Reie in Bruges, Belgium. Historic row houses with red-tiled roofs and a mix of gabled and flat façades line the canal, while bollards and railings mark the waterway and walkway. Trees showing early autumn color frame the scene, and a partly cloudy sky brightens the medieval streetscape. The canal network, once the commercial lifeline of the city, is part of the UNESCO-listed Historic Centre of Brugge and remains a focal point for daily life and tourism.
