Le premier témoignage écrit de l’existence d’Esch-sur-Sûre se retrouve dans le « Liber aureus Epternacensis ». Dans ce livre de l’abbaye d’Echternach, il est noté qu’un certain Nebelungus a fait don de ses propriétés avec serfs de « Hesc » à ladite abbaye. Cet acte remonte à l’an 3 du règne de Charlemagne, c.-à-d. entre le 9 octobre 773 et le 9 octobre 774.
Le 3 juin 927, un certain Meginaud a acquis, par échange avec l’abbaye de Stavelot, le site d’Esch-sur-Sûre. Il a érigé une tour d’habitation carrée de 8 x 8 mètres et les bâtiments d’exploitation agricole. À la fin du 11e siècle, les frères Henri 1er et Godefroi 1er ont participé à la préparation de la première croisade. De ce fait, ils n’ont pas su réaliser des travaux au château. Les deux derniers seigneurs de la lignée des comtes d’Esch ont considérablement agrandi leur territoire et leur château. En ces temps, la seigneurie d’Esch-sur-Sûre comptait 19 villages et hameaux et s’étendait jusqu’à Diekirch.
Les premières constructions du château ont donc été réalisées pendant la période romane, tandis que son développement a eu lieu à l’époque gothique.
Avec l’apparition de la poudre au 15e siècle, il a fallu adapter les constructions défensives. Ainsi, tout le village fut entouré d’un mur d’enceinte de 450 m de long et de 1,5 m de large avec deux tours défensives. La tour de guet ronde a également été fortifiée.
La décadence du château fort débuta vers le milieu du 16e siècle pour se terminer au 19e siècle. Après la prise de la forteresse de Luxembourg (1685), les troupes de Louis XIV s’employaient à démanteler les places fortes du pays.
À Esch-sur-Sûre, on n’a pas détruit le mur d’enceinte, parce que des maisons y étaient adossées et certaines le sont toujours (à voir en montant la ruelle à gauche de la mairie).
Vers le milieu du 19e siècle, le château passa entre les mains de bourgeois qui y habitaient. Lorsque Victor Hugo visita le bourg au bord de la Sûre en été 1871, le château abritait toujours plusieurs familles. La chapelle du château fut restaurée en 1906.
De nos jours, il ne reste que des ruines consolidées pour témoigner du fier passé de la seigneurie d’Esch-sur-Sûre.
The first written evidence of the existence of Esch-sur-Sûre can be found in the “Liber aureus Epternacensis”. In this book of the Abbey of Echternach, it is noted that a certain Nebelungus donated his properties with serfs of “Hesc” to the said abbey. This act dates back to the year 3 of the reign of Charlemagne, i.e. between October 9, 773 and October 9, 774. On June 3, 927, a certain Meginaud acquired, by exchange with the Abbey of Stavelot, the site of Esch-sur-Sûre. He built a square residential tower of 8 x 8 meters and the farm buildings. At the end of the 11th century, the brothers Henry I and Godfrey I participated in the preparation of the first crusade. As a result, they were unable to carry out work on the castle. The last two lords of the line of the Counts of Esch considerably expanded their territory and their castle. At that time, the lordship of Esch-sur-Sûre included 19 villages and hamlets and extended as far as Diekirch.
The first constructions of the castle were therefore carried out during the Romanesque period, while its development took place in the Gothic period.
With the advent of gunpowder in the 15th century, it was necessary to adapt the defensive constructions. Thus, the entire village was surrounded by a 450 m long and 1.5 m wide perimeter wall with two defensive towers. The round watchtower was also fortified.
The decline of the fortified castle began around the middle of the 16th century and ended in the 19th century. After the capture of the fortress of Luxembourg (1685), Louis XIV's troops set about dismantling the country's strongholds.
In Esch-sur-Sûre, the surrounding wall was not destroyed because houses were built against it and some still are (you can see it by going up the alley to the left of the town hall).
Towards the middle of the 19th century, the castle passed into the hands of bourgeois who lived there. When Victor Hugo visited the town on the banks of the Sûre in the summer of 1871, the castle was still home to several families. The castle chapel was restored in 1906.
Today, only consolidated ruins remain to bear witness to the proud past of the lordship of Esch-sur-Sûre.

Not unlike this object, losing our purpose in life will lead us to a certain path where even the slightest shadow of our existence will fade away like tears in the ocean.
The smouldering weather
crashed & sought a new life.
So cold yet scorching, I resisted any wither..
Stagnant as ever I waited for the new dimension
hoping to die..
Yes Time really was flying by...
Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé ce qui se passerait si la communauté scientifique confirmait que nous n’étions pas seuls dans l’Univers ?
De l’Antiquité à nos jours, l’Homme n’a cessé de se questionner quant à l’existence d’une intelligence extraterrestre, issue d’une autre planète que la Terre.
Déjà au 7e siècle avant notre ère, le philosophe grec Anaximandre émettait l’idée d’une "pluralité cosmique", selon laquelle l’univers compterait une infinité d’autres planètes abritant la vie.
Une idée qui a depuis fait son chemin, en témoignent les nombreux romans et films de science-fiction qui existent aujourd’hui sur le sujet. "La Guerre des Mondes","E.T.", et plus récemment le blockbuster "Avatar" sont, en effet, autant d’œuvres de la pop-culture ayant, année après année, façonné notre imaginaire …
Mais qu’en est-il en vérité ?
L’hypothèse d’une vie extraterrestre pourrait-elle se vérifier dans les mois, les années ou les siècles à venir ?
Pour l’instant, aucune preuve concrète n’a pu être avancée, toutefois les scientifiques ne rejettent pas l’idée.
Au contraire, nombre d’entre eux estiment qu’au vu des récentes avancées technologiques, l’homme n’a jamais été aussi proche de découvrir la preuve d’un existance extraterrestre !
Mais qu’arriverait-il, si c’était le cas et comment se déroulerait cette rencontre entre notre monde et le leur, et quelles en seraient les conséquences sur notre avenir ?
Vous avez bien votre petite idée sur la question, n’est-ce pas les “artistes” ? 🤔

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the scientific community confirmed that we were not alone in the Universe?
From Antiquity to the present day, Man has continued to question the existence of an extraterrestrial intelligence, coming from a planet other than Earth.
Already in the 7th century BC, the Greek philosopher Anaximander put forward the idea of a “cosmic plurality”, according to which the universe would include an infinity of other planets sheltering life.
An idea that has since gained ground, as evidenced by the numerous science fiction novels and films that exist today on the subject. "War of the Worlds", "E.T.", and more recently the blockbuster "Avatar" are, in fact, so many works of pop-culture having, year after year, shaped our imagination...
But what is it really?
Could the hypothesis of extraterrestrial life be verified in the months, years or centuries to come?
For the moment, no concrete proof has been able to be put forward, however scientists do not reject the idea.
On the contrary, many of them believe that given recent technological advances, man has never been so close to discovering proof of extraterrestrial existence!
But what would happen if that were the case and how would this encounter between our world and theirs take place, and what would be the consequences for our future?
You have your own idea on the matter, don’t the “artists”? 🤔

The earliest attestation to the existence of the church dates back to 1256. The main body, consisting of a triple nave, was rebuilt during the mid-15th century in the north German Brick Gothic style. In 1657 a Baroque rooftop was added to the spire, which thus reached a height of 115 meters. The church was heavily damaged in an air-raid during World War II, on 30 July 1943. It left only the outer walls and the base of the spire standing. The building was restored between 1950 and 1957.

Living in amongst the mangrove forest must be really hard. The climate is a mixture of extreme heat, rainfall and humidity which is really tough on the cobbled together stilted homes. Despite these problems the locals seemed surprisingly cheery.
Our small boat had a driver and guide. The driver apparently lived in such a village and the guide encouraged us to photograph their slowly disappearing way of life.

All these years, I only had the chance to look at those beautiful Milky Way images taken by those lucky few. I never realized that one day my yearning would turn into reality. Late at night, I could see so many stars thru the window, so without much delay, we set out into the dead of the night for some stargazing. Without any kind of phone connectivity or an app to help locate the Milky Way, I just went into BULB mode on the camera and a new portal opened before my eyes. My very own capture. I knew at that moment; I exist.

3 PANOs layered with James Tiliich insert. A major production, two mornings of work.
James Tillich is known worldwide as "the man who never existed." I ought to know. I created him.
I have this really cheep lens. I mean it never cost much. It looks cheep. Someone said it is sharp and it gives pleasant results and I gave it a try.
“I existed long before you knew me, I’ve always been someone.” Those words have haunted me since they floated through my brain at the age of 15, as an argument against those who thought they knew me enough to judge me. To this day I still know with an absolute sense, what those words meant to me. This piece is about those words, those syllables, about their meaning, about breaking them down to create something stronger, something beyond the scope of others. I burnt my words because it was time for a change; it was time to burn the shackles and rise again, to rise above, the judgments of other people. I’ve spent far too long thinking that I needed the validation of smaller insignificant people to truly exist, but that part of me is over. I burnt my words because they are a show of weakness; they are a cry for acceptance, and I see now that they are pointless. I am not the type of girl who will every be accepted, I’m too strong for that. I have risen from the ashes of myself; my words, and in time will find new syllables to describe the anthem of my heart and the creeds within my head."
Above all, it's hard learning to live with vivid mental images of scenes I cared for and failed to photograph. It is the edgy existence within me of these unmade images that is the only assurance that the best photographs are yet to be made. - Sam Abell, Stay This Moment : The Photographs of Sam Abell by Sam Abell
