“Courage is found in unlikely places.” – J. R. R. Tolkien
Have you ever walked up to something that reminded you of something else? That thing has a strong place in your memory. I remember one time we were in Canada and walked by the Old Spaghetti Factory. It reminded me of the one that used to be in Charlotte, which was a place my family would gather for special occasions. There was also one in Louisville that I enjoyed going to that was great as well. Whenever I go to visit my mom in Georgia, where I grew up, I am always reminded of memories of being there when I was younger. It’s funny how visiting places can bring back memories from the past.
When I visited Bruges, Belgium, I saw the Mayflower. I know you might be thinking it is the same Mayflower that landed on Plymouth Rock hundreds of years ago, but this one is different. The Lichtschip Mayflower is a unique restaurant, bar, and tea room in Bruges, Belgium, housed inside a historic converted lightship moored along the canal. The ship was built in 1883 as Lichtschip Nr. 3 by the Rijkswerf in Amsterdam for the Dutch government; the vessel later served different maritime roles before being preserved as a floating restaurant. I captured these photos with a lens I purchased from @retropiacam . The one I used for these shots is their disposable camera lens. It is made from recycled disposable cameras. The shot gives the feel that it was captured with a film camera. It is easy to use for point-and-shoot. It’s light and does a good job of bringing out dramatic lens flare.
