Stunning Strasbourg’s,
medieval beauty,
quietly reflected,
by the still waters,
of the sleepy River Ill.
The old city, (click to enlarge to see the kayakers and people)
UNESCO’s pride,
a paradise,
to browse,
and explore.
Cheers to you from romantic old Strasbourg

So beautiful, Cindy. I love the still water, the golden windows, and the cobbled streets. What a great place to visit.
Absolutely stunning photos! I can’t wait to add stamps to my passport.
Your reflections series truly is amazing, as I was just reminded by seeing your posts on Facebook! HUGS to you, Cindy ♥
Ahhhh, I guess this means I should keep posting on FB! Sometimes I wonder. Thank you so much Christy. I appreciate your kindness.
Gorgeous pictorial poem. 🙂
What a lovely and lyrical way to describe it. Thank you.
gorgeous! just gorgeous!
Ahhh, happy day to you dear Robert~
This post couldn’t be prettier Cindy!! It’s amazing that you found the water so so still for those reflective photos. Beautiful. Hope all’s going well with you– I’m up in San Francisco watching our grand-girl little Lois for the week! take care. xox
Thank you Rhonda and have a wonderful time in my favorite US city! You are right next door to my daughter~ <3
Hi Cindy! We really like SF too– so many good places to eat! And a surprising number of good hikes in and around the city– plus grand-kids, of course! Where is your daughter?? Our daughter lived in Berkeley, Oakland and now SF. Our sons family is here too. Loved your city reflections Cindy– beautiful theme… xo
Cindy,
I love these pictures: they’re simply fantastic. As are those from Heidelberg. I tried to comment to that post, but my comment didn’t appear. Maybe it ended up in your spam folder. That has frequently happened to my comments on other blogs. Would you mind checking?
As to the pictures: I noticed that they don’t have the EXIF-information any more. So, may I ask you which camera you use?
Oh, one more thing: I’m just now looking at one of the Strasburg pictures [that with the old houses along a curved waterway} on my big 27″ monitor in high resolution. May I use this picture as a desktop background? Of course, on my personal computer only. That brings me to another idea: wouldn’t you want to put a watermark in? I could imagine that somebody might otherwise simply copy and publish some of your pictures.
I’m looking forward to seeing more soon,
Pit
I am honored that you will use my photo as background. It makes me happy I posted it. Thank you for asking. I am sure people do use my photos and I am happy they do as long as they credit me if they use them publically. Lots of times people ask to use them and this makes me happy. I will check spam. This happens a lot with comments, so thank you for the heads up. In all these reflection shots, I used both Sony HX400 and Sony RX10 interchangeably. I labeled the photos by camera so I could do a comparison, so if you want to know about a specific photo, I can tell you. As far as which camera I prefer, it would be HX400 for zoom, macro and all wildlife, and RX10 for landscapes. Thank you so much for your very thoughtful comment.
A fairytale landscape! Beautiful – how were the pastries? 😉
Fabulous of course!
Omg Cindy, these photos are exquisite. I can’t even express how appreciative I am for your sharing. I hope someday to visit all the beautiful places you’ve captured in your photos. Someday… 💖
I hope you do too and when you do, please share your impressions with me my dear friend~ <3
You’ll top my list, darlin’ 💖
Such gorgeous reflections and even just the architecture! My hubby has been all over Europe as a young man, and wants to take me to Germany, where his father was born, along with many other countries! Thanks for sharing, Cindy!
You must go! Preferably in spring or fall. I look forward to your posts~
So beautiful, Cindy! With loveMaxima
Love back to you my friend~
How gorgeous! What a romantic place for a wedding! Love all that still water, too!
The weddings make the storybook settings into real storybooks! <3
Beautiful photos! 🙂
Strasbourg is another of my favourite places! I am enjoying your pictures of some of my favourites immensely!
I am so glad you do and thanks for letting me know!
OMG!!! Strasbourg….not Heidelberg! I keep coming over here to maybe see hummingbirds, but kept seeing what I thought was the last post. Good grief how many pretty, picturesque fairy tale places along water are there in Europe?
I’ve seen some night shots of Toronto with all its lights reflected on the lake, but this is so different.
Beautifully shot, Cindy!
Say hello to the Holler for me!
Lovely!!
Beautiful pictures and I place I want to visit.
Thank you & I hope you do and post about it too!
Yes. A piece of poetry for future fantasies of beautiful places i want to visit.
All beautiful images, as always!
What an excellent place. Thanks for the view. 🙂
Stunning photos that end with a wedding Shakespeare style!
Gorgeous photos of a gorgeous place
I am so pleased you enjoyed & thank you for the lovely words!
Beautiful, as always.
Very kind of you as always!
The water-ways add to the image of the town. – Oscar
You’re right. These old medieval towns were canals are just pure charm and there are a lot of them.

More beautiful photos from Cindy.
Thank you for your kind thoughtfulness Patricia. You are so appreciated~ <3
Thank you for this lovely breath of Strasbourg, Cindy — your photos, as usual, are stunning.
Thank you more for such a lovely comment my friend & cheers to you!
Truly magnificent photography Cindy. 🙂 x
Honored and humbled that you think so my friend~ <3
<3
Wow! Amazing Shots and Scenes! 👍
So happy you enjoyed & cheers to you!
Yes Indeed. 👍
Beautiful photos Cindy. Happy Sunday to you. 🙂
Visa versa 2U! <3
Stunning reflections, indeed! I love the traditional buildings along the river.
Aren’t they wonderful fairytale cottages!
Glad I do not have the job of maintaining the roof on the “UNESCO’s pride” photo.
Yes, that would be dangerous!
Oh wow… what a share… brilliant…
So great to hear from you and your golf course looks wonderful! I would love to visit the resort.
Strasbourg is beautiful. I love the old strasbourg, and cannot wait to return. Thank you for posting
It is a magical old city isn’t it! <3
yes it is like you said, magical is the word hahaha, I cannot wait to go there again one day. so soon!
I look forward to hearing about your visit, soon! 😉
ravishing photos of a ravishing place – <3 <3 <3
Awww, so appreciated! Thank you~ <3
Bonjour ou bonsoir CINDY belle ville STRASBOURG je suis à 120 km
S’il existe un sentiment
Pas toujours perçu a sa juste valeur, c’est bien l’amitié
Elle est beaucoup plus sincère et profonde
Que la simple camaraderie
Redonne souvent de l’espoir quand la vie est difficile
L’amitié ne s’épanouit de respect et d’honnêteté
Voila donc pourquoi, jouir de ton amitié
D’une personne comme toi, est un immense privilège
Que rien au monde ne serait remplacer
Je te souhaite une belle et agréable journée ou soirée
https://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/502595bebe.jpg
Je te fais de Gros Bisous.
Bernard
Merci beaucoup mon ami Bernard!
Your photos take me back. I loved my visit to Strasbourg. Quaint and absolutely pretty place.
Yes it is quite special and I am glad you experienced it for yourself! <3
Sheer beauty … and it seems to be a German Venice!
There are lots of these other Venices scattered around. Strasbourg and Aveiro have no crowds. Brugge does.
So beautiful ♥
Awww, so pleased you think so!
Ok♥
How beautiful. I really liked the one with the kayaker. All of that old European architecture and then suddenly something from our generation. Cool juxtaposition!
How perceptive of you to notice. I photographed the same juxtaposition in Heidelberg. I love it too, surfing the river wars in the medieval town!
Reblogged this on WHOLE.
Very touched by your kind thoughtfulness!
No worries 🙂
Beautiful place! My ‘Bucket List’ is crowded with all the places you’ve introduced me to that I’d like to go some day. That lazy river is ideal for kayaking. Lovely pictures. <3
That makes me smile and feel very happy, because creating and carrying out a bucket list makes life meaningful and happy! <3
Hi Cindy!
Your photography is so gorgeous! Makes me want to travel more and see the world!
<3 Alana
Wonderful! If it encourages you to do this, then I am happy I posted because travel opens your eyes, mind and <3 !
Definitely! I always enjoy your posts 🙂
<3 <3
So beautiful! Best regards from Jule and their Can openers 😀
Visa versa 2UX2! <3
Absolutely gorgeous.
You are very kind and most appreciated! <3
Curtis Bausse is editing an anthology of short stories and hopes photographers will submit work with the theme “Journey” (broadly interpreted). The photos need not be linked to the stories. Proceeds will go to charity. I have nothing to send him, but U might.
Deadline is 2017-06-20 and details are in
https://curtisbaussebooks.com/2017/05/27/call-to-photographers/
Thank you very much for the lead. I will follow up on it!
Beautiful architecture, maybe I should skip Paris one year and try Strasbourg 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
It is worth considering. Paris is overcrowded. Strasbourg and Prague and Aveiro are incredibly gorgeous cities with few crowds and are much less expensive.
What a beautiful place, you think government offices when you hear Strasbourg.
Fabulous photos what a gorgeous day to visit.
It was here that we sat and chatted over lunch with Joyce DiDanato. My husband still hasn’t gotten over it because he is such an opera lover. I just thought she was a nice, down to earth person, which she is!
Very inspiring place
Very pleased you find it so and thanks for letting me know~
Thank you Cindy, you are awesome. 🙂
Visa versa 2UX2! <3
Lovely. Finally grabbing some time to enjoy your wonderful photos. I really like these of Strasbourg, because I have never been there. Have you been to S. W. France? The Midi-Pyrenees, particularly Albi and Carcasonne are fascinating.
I haven’t been to that area but it sounds delightful!
Your amazing photos are magazine quality reflections of luminescent Grace! How could we not believe in “something” when we have these moments captured as evidence? Thank you, Cindy. xo 🙏
You are a sweetheart Robin! Have a wonderful weekend my friend~ <3
