In the 15th century, Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, set up court in Bruges attracting a number of artists, bankers, and other prominent personalities from all over Europe. The weavers and spinners of Bruges were thought to be the best in the world, and the population of Bruges grew to 200,000 inhabitants at this time. Starting around 1500, the Zwin channel, which had given the city its prosperity, also started silting. The city soon fell behind Antwerp as the economic flagship of the Low Countries. During the 17th century, the lace industry took off, and various efforts to bring back the glorious past were made. During the 1650s, the city was the base for Charles II of England and his court in exile. The maritime infrastructure was modernized, and new connections with the sea were built, but without much success. Bruges became impoverished and gradually disappeared from the picture, with its population dwindling from 200,000 to 50,000 by the end of the 1800s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruges

This is Bunratty Castle near Shannon Ireland. Overcast day with periods of showers, though the sun peeked throught the clouds a couple times this day. Not sure how old this castle is but it has a folk park next to it that was closed when I was here but it supposed to be a pretty real to how people use to live in Ireland back in the day. 3 shot hdr taken with a D70, photomatix and fixed up in photoshop. used a little topaz on it as well.
