Description
This capture is in memory of my Grand'pa (Opa in german language)
He used to be a passionate fisherman and loved to go fishing with his brother Armand or his brother-in-law Léon.
With his brother, he came down there from time to time and I often heard about this place but never went with them.
Oddly, I forgot about this place when he became older and didn't go fishing anymore. Many years later when I moved to my hometown, I suddenly remembered the name of this place located not far from my home (2 or 3 kms) and realised it was my grandpa's fishing place !
I think he would like my picture and would tell me a story or two including fishing and his brother-in-law Léon.
He even realised a fishing pole for me with bamboo's sticks when I was 4 or 5 year's old. I went with him for fishing and it was my most exhilarating fishing experience because I caught much more fishes with my little fishing pole then him !
He still remembered this many years later and it became a running joke between us !
So here is for the story behind this capture :-)
I hope you'll enjoy this view as much as my Opa and me !
Have a great week-end. Monday it will be time to turn back to school in France !

Une superbe photo d'ambiance et de souvenirs , à lire cette partie de ton enfance et la vie de ton grand-père. L'angle est très large: est-ce un pano' en deux photos ?...En tout cas, la lumière de ce lieu est joliment bien 'capturée' ...Magnifique, en un mot !

Que c'est paisible et beau...de quoi méditer au fil de l'eau et ne pas attraper de poissons ne doit pas être trop perturbant dans un si bel endroit Merci de nous offrir ce moment de rêverie
