What a great shot, the boat ride seems so tranquil & yet I picture a bustling pedestraian street (hopefully filled with bakeries) just around the corner.

Thanks for sharing!

I was going to say the same thing…at first glance, you’d think it was Venice.

Nice shot!

It’s so perfect, it almost doesn’t look real. Like that Venice casino in Las Vegas…

Hi Caitlin,

Thanks, I’d forgotten that. I couldn’t find a good, solid Alsace-Lorraine history link from a reputable source, or I would have included it.

If anyone has one, let me know in the comments and I’ll see about adding it….

Of course it’s also the area that the Kaiser invaded at the start of World War I.
