Title: Autumn in Lorraine...
Post by: Sciurus on July 27, 2009, 02:45:38 AM
Hello all!
Today, I want to present you my village, where I live, to present the Americans what looks like France (particullary the french country)
We begin by a little series:

We begin by the Town Hall of Gorcy, an old castle:

Then, the church (we can see it on the Gorcy's Wiki page in french)

Then, it's a monument to the ruthlesses of the First Mondial War:

The military cemetery:

The enter of the villag from the belgium (the village is next to the frontier, and we're 20km from Luxembourg. We call that the "Trois-Frontières"):

It is, so, so small!  ;D

Looks like and reminds me of rural South Africa, very beautiful, very clean, but very small and lonely :(

Could almost be a small town in rural New Zealand, too, except the buildings are all older (In France). And the football pitch would be a rugby field!

Glad you posted these photos, Sciurus - I can see why you're proud of your little village. The French countryside is beautiful - Il'll bet some of the scenes could almost be reproduced in the game! :)

Later...

Thanks all, but the series isn't finished, wait a bit for the next photos ;)
Art > Hé bien, ces photos datent de l'année dernière, et j'étais pas très expérimenté on va dire $%Grinno$%. De plus, je les avais prises le matin, donc j'étais en face du soleil. Mais je pense que je vais essayer d'en reprendre en fin d'après-midi aujourd'hui :thumbsup:

Oh boy ...

Your pictures make me homesick as hell ... It's not the Lorraine (or Lothringen) but the Northern Blackforrest (Nordschwarzwald  / Le Nord du Forêt Noire) but there's a great autumn there - unlike Istanbul where the leaves just turn from green to brown ...

Thanks for sharing!
