Belgium: Brugge

On Friday I got three postcards: one from Belgium, one from New Zealand and one from Hong Kong.

The card from Belgium shows various views of Brugge. Brugge is the capital and largest city of the Belgian Province of West Flanders. It is also a Bishop's see. Since 2000 is the Historic Centre of Brugge on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In 2002 was Brugge the European Capital of Culture. 


Stamps:
Lucky Luke (from set of ten) (issued 13-04-2015)
Lucky Luke is a comic series about the American Old West. It was created by Morris in 1946 and is today one of the most successful comic series in Europe. The stamp shows Billy the Kid.
This is Belgium - Comic Land (from set of ten) (issued 17-09-2012)
The stamp shows Jommeke and his parrot Flip. Jommeke is the protagonist in a comic strip series of the same name. The series has been published since 1955 and is especially popular in Flanders.


Thank You very much William!
