Tradition in Motion — Beer Wagon, Bruges

Artist’s Statement: D J Wilson, LRPS

On a cobbled street in the heart of Bruges, a horse-drawn wagon loaded with barrels of Omer Vander Ghinste beer moves through the modern city, a living echo of centuries-old brewing traditions.

The powerful draft horses, polished harness, and bright red wagon bring a touch of another era into the present-day streetscape.

The image captures a moment where heritage and contemporary urban life intersect. Passers-by watch, children pause, and the city briefly feels like a stage where history rolls past in full colour.
