Temple Neuf from Pont Moyen, Metz France.
One of my favorite little towns in France, Metz is in the Lorraine region not far from the border of Germany. Although it gets its share of tourists, it's not as overwhelming and it still manages to maintain that small-town feel. I've been here quite a few times but never wandered past this temple, and what a pleasant surprise it was to discover this bridge across from it where you can see a pretty view of the Mosel river and the temple.
What a lovely day we had on this side of the world this past Sunday. It's quite evident in the clear sky and still water in this image. Since we moved our clocks an hour back yesterday, blue hour came even earlier - before 6 pm! That means this happy photographer gets to go home earlier these days.

Metz and its surroundings, which were part of the Trois-Évêchés from 1552 to 1790, were landlocked between the Duchy of Luxembourg (until 1659), ducal Lorraine and the Duchy of Bar until 1766. was from 19742 to 2015 the capital of the Lorraine region.

A trading city of the Carolingian Empire, Metz is the seat of a powerful bishopric, and an important trading and banking city of the Holy Roman Empire. Coveted by its neighbors (and debtors) then by the kingdom of France, Metz became a protectorate and a French stronghold in the 16th century, before being annexed by the German Empire at the end of the 19th century (Alsace-Moselle). Once again French after the First World War, it was de facto annexed by the Third Reich from 1940 to 1944.
The city presents an important architectural diversity, from antiquity to the 20th century, rich in a strong medieval and classical heritage, of French and Germanic influence, in particular in the imperial district, fitted out during the annexation of Alsace- Lorraine, representative of Wilhelmian architecture. The Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains church in the town center is one of the oldest churches in the world, and the oldest church in France.

The Temple neuf is a reformed building of worship built in Metz between 1901 and 1905, during the Wilhelminian period. The parish is today a member of the Union of Protestant Churches of Alsace and Lorraine.
At the time of the attachment of Metz and the North-East of Lorraine to the German Empire, the city was transformed under the action of the authorities who decided to make its town planning a showcase of the Wilhemian empire. Architectural eclecticism is reflected in the appearance of numerous buildings in the neo-Romanesque style, such as the central post office, the “New Temple”, or the new railway station; neo-Gothic style, such as the portal of the cathedral and the Garrison temple, or neo-Renaissance style, such as the Governor's palace. The "New Temple" illustrates this policy ofGermanization by architecture, deployed by William II, to establish his hold on the city. This all-out architectural modernization policy, marked by many buildings throughout the Moselle department, was intended to seduce the annexed populations by showing them the benefit of a "return" to the bosom of the German Empire.

from time to time we spend some time at Metz, which is so near to us... the cathedral is a jewel, especially by its windows, some of them by Marc Chagall, but the whole light ins this building is spectacular...
