This natural-color Landsat 7 image was collected by the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) instrument on May 23, 2001. The modern city of Bruge appears in the image as a grey area with a roughly circular center that is ringed by a canal, 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, Boundewijn Canal leads north to the port of Zeebruge and to the North Sea. Surroundin

The fields make a tan and green checkerboard.
