Hi,
I'm quite busy lately with moderating and putting some massive inputs into the Facebook group "Brugge, Vroeger en Nu" (Bruges, now and then). This group already exists for some while and has already 13.400 members.

We moderate with three local people. Great fun and interesting historic and also up-to-date information about Bruges in general.
Together with the BBB Facebook group alot of work. But after all, this is a fun occupation.
Sometimes, beery postings are done too !
For example this one that I oploaded today. https://www.facebook.com/groups/198089190226368/permalink/25563058233302781/



The old picture is found at https://erfgoedbrugge.be/p/BRU001006453

It's the wagon of the brewery De Drie Monniken, owned by Aug. Vanneste-Cruyt, located at number 6 in Molenmeers.
(around 1500: De Rooden Hoet Brewery) 1500-1939



Facebook has a free AI function, called Meta AI
A simple colorize gives a nice picture.


And it is even possible to animate the picture afterwards with some music.

It is a highly addictive time spending to bring beery Bruges' history back into life

Cheers,
Filip
