L’ Alsace est une région historique et une collectivité territoriale de l’Est de la France à la frontière avec l'Allemagne et la Suisse. Ses habitants sont appelés les Alsaciens.
HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !
Some more fine windows in one of the many beautiful, colorful, well-preserved Alsace houses. Houses like this are not "museums." They are homes and/or sometimes shops.
I labeled this photo "upstairs" because of a semantic confusion. In the USA (my homeland), the ground floor of a building is called the first floor. Here, the ground floor is the ground floor. The first upstairs floor--shown here--is called the first floor. Ah me.
NB - I am always surprised how some photos (e.g. this one) taken with my ancient iPhone 4S, can be cropped and edited into such pretty pictures. Photo quality likely benefited from the direction of the sunlight. As the shadows on the building indicate, it was from the left side and high. This produced nice, defining shadows, but no extreme highlights or deep shadows. Easier work for the tiny sensor in my iPhone 4S.
Location: Village of Blotzheim, Alsace FR, close to Basel CH.
