EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Lac d'Amour," or the Lake of Love, is a picturesque and enchanting scene located in the heart of Bruges, Belgium. This stunning photograph, captured around 1920, showcases the serene reflection of the medieval harbor and its surrounding buildings on the still waters of the lake. The tranquil scene is further enhanced by the presence of swans gliding gracefully across the mirror-like surface. The Lake of Love, also known as Minnewater, has been a popular tourist destination for centuries. Its name is derived from the medieval legend of Minne, the god of love, who is said to have created the lake to prove his devotion to his beloved. The legend goes that any couple who drinks from the lake's waters will be granted eternal love. The medieval harbor, with its quaint houses, towering spires, and ancient boats, adds to the fairytale-like atmosphere of the scene. The reflection on the water creates a breathtaking illusion of a double image, where the past and present merge in perfect harmony. Bruges, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture, canals, and rich cultural heritage. A visit to Le Lac d'Amour is a must for anyone seeking to experience the charm and beauty of this Belgian gem. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Bruges and its timeless charm, which continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
