A charming village at the border..., a photo from Alsace, East

Photographer's Note

About the location:

another charming village, to be reached just a few meters behind the border between Germany and France, in Alsace...

About the story:

on an privat or public event, some time for strolling around iin the streets of Wissembourg..

About the picture:

today a shot, taken in the streets of Wissembourg, as you can see another example of beautiful renovated half-timbered houses, all along the streets..

this one here, nearby the river Lauter, which arises in the palatinate forest in Germany, was used in former times as a bath-house..

a nice evening to all my friends and guests here at TE!

Hi Bernd
nice to view your gallery once again :)
these timbered houses are really an eye catcher, especially for us here in Canada as we don't have anything similar.
Just be looking at the photo, there is a strong European feel to it.
the flowers in the fg add color and elegance.
really sharp and well managed lighting.
cheers

Hi Bernd
Yes, Wissembourg is indeed a charming village. It is not to far from my hometown Basel.
Your composition is very pleasing, showing a typical alsatian village scene.
Have a good weekend

Hallo Berd. Blauer Himmel, sommerliche Temperaturen Fachwerkhäuser und Blumenschmuck. Dörfliche Idylle. So kann man das Photo am besten umschreiben. Solche ansichten sind ein Genuss für das Auge. Gut gemacht. viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

Hallo Bernd,

sehr interessante Aufnahme aus dem Elsass mit tollen Farben und sehr gutem Bildaufbau. IIch fahre auch öfters in diese Gegend (Elass oder Schwarzwald) und ich bin noch sehr selten von Land und Leuten entäuscht worden.

Mit den besten Grüssen aus Luxemburg
