'Laurier op de markt' in Bruges 1
Made by Ivan Geirnaert
‘Laurier op de markt’ September 25 to October 3, 2010. A green project to a concept of Daniel Ost and the green service of the City of Bruges in cooperation with Lauretum from Jabbeke. Daniel Ost (1955) Born in Sint-Niklaas. He was repeatedly Belgian champion (1979 and 1983), he won the Golden Orchid and was laureate of international competitions. He is the world’s foremost floral designer and sculptor. Daniel has the unique ability to envision life through flowers and creates absolute beauty through his passion and art. He has fashioned his own world of astonishing floral designs, which have earned him a devoted international clientele. Many of Ost's best creations are included in the books “Leafing Through Flowers” (Callaway Editions, 2000) and “Invitations” (Lannoo, 2002). This modern-day Belgian has inverted the old masters’ logic. These arrangements seem impossible, and yet they actually did exist. Daniel Ost is more famous in Japan than anywhere else in the world, as Ikebana, Japanese flower arranging, is a well-established art form there. Still, he hasn't been ignored by his countrymen. Within five years of opening his shop in Sint-Niklaas in 1985, he was receiving orders from the Belgian Royal Family, in 2005 he opened his second shop in Brussels and it has received wide critical acclaim and has been highly successful. His artistry is in demand by royalty, celebrities, and corporations and his installations, which last only a few days, are extremely costly, but the artistic value is absolutely priceless. To experience the Floral World according to Daniel Ost is like stepping into another world highlighted by the finest colors, designs and floral smells. Over the past 30 years Daniel Ost has cemented his reputation as being the maestro in creating simple elegance and is in demand on the lecture circuit throughout the world to share and show his floral vision.


Medieval Glow

Exposure 0.167, Aperture f/5.0, Focal Length 18 mm, ISO Speed 1600, Kit Lens 18-55mm Just got back from a short trip in Brugge. Loved the place!! This cracking piece of architecture sure helped us find our way back to the Hotel after several Steins of local ale :O) Wiki Stuff; The Belfry of Bruges, or Belfort, is a medieval bell tower in the historical center of Bruges, Belgium. One of the city's most prominent symbols, the belfry formerly housed a treasury and the municipal archives, and served as an observation post for spotting fires and other danger. A narrow, steep staircase of 366 steps, accessible by the public for an entry fee, leads to the top of the 83-meter-high building, which leans about a meter to the east. To the sides and back of the tower stands the former market hall, a rectangular building only 44 m broad but 84 m deep, with an inner courtyard. The belfry, accordingly, is also known as the Halletoren (tower of the halls). The building is a central feature of the 2008 film In Bruges. Watched the film (again) when we got back to see if we recognised anything... Literally every 3 minutes of the film we saw somewhere we'd eaten, drank or stopped to take in the sights :o)


The Belfry of Bruges / Belfort
Made by Vijay Palanichamy
The Belfry of Bruges, or Belfort, is a medieval bell tower in the historical centre of Bruges, Belgium. Also one of the city's most prominent symbols. The belfry was added to the main market square around 1240, when Bruges was prospering as an important centre of the Flemish cloth industry. After a devastating fire in 1280, the tower was largely rebuilt. A narrow, steep staircase of 366 steps, leads to the top of the 83-metre-high building, which leans about a metre to the east. The octagonal upper stage of the belfry capped with a wooden spire bearing an image of Saint Michael, banner in hand and dragon underfoot.

Another famous shot of Bruges: the typical houses on the Market Square of Bruges. The houses mostly are coffeehouses, although the upper levels of the houses are private houses where people live. This photo is taken from the Belfry of Bruges.

Alone in a Crowd

They say Brugge is a romantic city. With its quiet streets, canals, quaint houses, the city perhaps does lend itself to that idea. This couple surely did feel it. Taken in the Belfry courtyard.

The view eastwards from the top of the Belfry / Belmont tower - focused on the stone here instead of the background and I think it's worked to nice effect.

366 steps to the top and 83 metres high, the Belfry provides excellent views over Bruges. If you're at the top when the bells ring it is deafening.

From the top of the Belfry. This was quite a surprise as you get so sucked in to all the medieval stuff you forget there's a modern world out there.
