Summary

[edit]
Description

This natural-color Landsat 7 image was collected by the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) instrument on May 23, 2001. The modern city of Bruges appears in the image as a grey area with a roughly circular center that is ringed by a canal (the Ringvaart), which was made by the reshaping of the Reie River. This canal encircles the limits of the old city, and it connects to smaller canals threading through the city. The ring canal connects with the Zwin River to the northeast at Damme. Near the coast, the very large, Y-shaped, Boudewijn Canal leads north to the Port of Bruges-Zeebrugge and to the North Sea. Surrounding Bruges is the Flanders countryside, a very flat, fertile plain. The fields make a tan and green checkerboard.
