One of the most beautiful parts of Europe can be found on the northeastern border of France and Germany; a region that has changed nationalities many times. Today this area is French, but the German influences are still evident in the architecture, the bakeries and restaurants, local customs and dialect.
As I wandered through the sprawling vineyards here, this particular view of one of the many adorable villages in this area caught my eye. The almost clear blue sky in the middle of summer completed the picture.
