I love the photos with the water because of the reflection. Castle with night sky is really neat. My Great-grand parents were from France, by the border of Germany. Hoping in 2013 to be able to gather enough information from family to visit that area...hope I am not too late...most have past. We just don't think of these things when we are younger and busy raising family. There is an artist in the town where I live who owns a quaint house in southern France...can't think of the name of area right now...she rents it when she is not there for $600 a week. Yes it is out in the country but only hours from culture. I like the idea of experiencing both aspects of a country. Very much like my own life. I live where I can get to the cities easily and the country side. It's wonderful living in an area where you can spend the day hiking or biking and then come home and put on a dress and walk the streets of a city for sites or music....or both!
