What is my favorite photo? The one I will take tomorrow. Imogen Cunningham, American photographer, 1883-1976
"It's not about conveying a vision, it's about reaching people through an image."
Ansel Adams
Nature
One hour for the Planet, that's what I gave to our friend Nature to preserve it!
Darkness is already approaching, Apples are falling in the orchards. On the paths where autumn is coming, Summer is slowly leaving.
Red, the maple leaves. Orange, the wild mushrooms. Yellow, the veiled sun. Brown, like the trunk. Beautiful are the colors of autumn!
"What I like in a photograph is the silence."
Robert Delpire, founder of the National Center of Photography
Walks
Why would you give up the thrill of the unexpected, the surprise of discovery? I hung my brain on the coat rack and then went out and took the perfect walk.
On the heights of the village of Grendelbruch in the Vosges, we discover the rounded summit of the Hohbühl which offers us an exceptional 360° panorama.
Between peat bogs, steep walls, scree, trees and firs, Lac des Truites is one of the most beautiful lakes in the Vosges massif.
Located at the foot of the Hohneck massif, on the Alsatian side, Lake Fischboedle often served as a setting for the Strasbourg painter, Jean-Nicolas Karth (1795-1878). The lake is bordered by numerous hiking trails.
Escapades
We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one! Confucius
Villa d'Este (pronounced "Villa d'èsté") is a palace with splendid gardens and is one of the best-preserved examples of refined Renaissance culture.
A key stop on any trip to Rome, this marble giant, the jewel of the Vatican, is none other than the largest Catholic church in the world.
With its various collections of artworks on display, the Vatican Museums include the famous Sistine Chapel. It is a must-see during a stay in Rome.
Urban walks
As the years go by, each neighborhood, each street in a city, evokes a memory, an encounter, a sorrow, a moment of happiness. Patrick Modiano
Paris has no beauty except in its history, but this history is so beautiful! Paris has no gaiety except in its patter, but this patter, although rather filthy, it goes around the languages of the world, salting a little this too insipid stew. […] » Excerpt from the poem Paris by Paul Verlaine (1893)
A fortified city founded at the beginning of the 11th century, a ducal capital, and one of the European cradles of Art Nouveau, Nancy enjoys a historical reputation brimming with small and large heritage sites bearing witness to a style, an era or a way of life.
Alsatian and European capital with a thousand-year-old charm, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Strasbourg has also been labeled a City of Art and History since 2013.
Museums of the World
"The function of the museum is to make good, not to make scholarly." Serge Chaumier, Altermuseology, ed. Hermann, 2018
The Würth Museum offers temporary exhibitions throughout the year drawn from the extensive holdings of the Würth Collection, one of the most important private art collections in Europe.
Classified as a Historical Monument since 1998, the former Carthusian monastery now houses a Museum of Archaeology, Art and History, as well as the Bugatti Foundation.
An original institution first mentioned in 1281, its uninterrupted history is closely linked to the fate of Strasbourg Cathedral, as well as to the dissemination of arts and ideas, knowledge and techniques throughout Europe. The collections of the Oeuvre Notre-Dame de Strasbourg still enjoy an undisputed reputation at both the national and international levels.
Our heritage from the past
There are two things in a historical monument: its use and its beauty. Its use belongs to the owner, its beauty to everyone. It is therefore exceeding one's right to destroy it. Victor Hugo
Consecrated to Saint George in 1791, the Jesuit Church of Molsheim thus took over the dedication of the old church destroyed in 1780.
Built next to the famous Jesuit church in Molsheim (Bas-Rhin), the Notre-Dame chapel is one of the jewels of neo-medieval architecture in Alsace.
The current chapel of the Dabo rock, whose bell tower serves as a belvedere, was built in 1889 in a Romanesque style.

About
Those who never laugh are not serious people. Alphonse Allais (but this quote is also attributed to Mozart)
Je ne suis pas une photographe professionnelle, mais j'aime la photographie !
La retraite étant là, j'ai décidé de m'accorder ce plaisir de photographier. Tous les univers m'intéressent. Ma photothèque vous fera découvrir mes clichés favoris. Soyez indulgents, je n’en suis qu’aux balbutiements de cette passion mise en pratique tardivement.
Lorsque je photographie, je rentre dans un monde serein rempli d'émotions, de beauté, et d'instants heureux. C'est pourquoi, maintenant que j'ai enfin le temps d'apprécier ces jolis moments, je ne veux surtout plus m'en priver.
Pour conclure, j'ai toujours aimé voyager, et l'envie de bouger reste intacte. Mes projets de faire de nouvelles découvertes ne sont jamais très loin. Alors dès que les occasions me seront données, et, si vous êtes intéressé(e)s, je serai heureuse de partager avec vous tous mes souvenirs photographiques.
Je reste active, revenez me voir aussi souvent que vous le souhaitez.
A bientôt.
