Trees and vines were ready. Ready for this little whiff of spring heat that would release the first leaves In three days, the landscape has awakened! Suddenly, one, the mountains are draped in a light green dress that captures the slightest ray of light. Around the villages, cherry light up and magnolias emphasize that plant explosion of a touch of color. The joy of nature is reborn is also the photographer who asks only remember those beautiful moments.

Castle Haut-Koenigsbourg takes a tender green coat …

If there is a figure that I do not risk forgetting, it is that of castle Haut-Koenigsbourg. The stronghold dominates the area. From one end to the other of the seasons it is there, imperturbable, like a watchman who has survived the centuries. From my window in La Vancelle, I cannot miss it. It would be hard for it to hide. Although from time to time, it shoves his head in the clouds. But its bad mood does never last very long. And where I am, I do not lose anything of its complicity with the seasons. I remember well the white coat of snow has first turned gray and in the end the castle managed to get rid of it. Now it is all clad with green. Come on! Show how beautiful and proud you are! Today, the castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg wears a soft and tender green dress. I think it works well. It is the green coat of the Immortals*, they say.
* The members of the Académie française are wearing a green dress and are called Immortals.
