Travel is a major passion of mine, and luckily, my family shares the same enthusiasm and never misses a chance to travel. I enjoy learning about the history of different cultures, admiring unique city architectures, and experiencing the contrast to the American way of life.
I captured this photo in Strasbourg, located in Eastern France in the historic region of Alsace. As you wander through the streets of Strasbourg, it's sometimes easy to forget that it is the center of the European Parliament, as its members meet there 12 times a year. The city is situated on the border with Germany, so the influences of both cultures are prominent throughout.
Visiting Strasbourg is an experience like no other. The city's unique blend of German and French influences, its rich history, and its stunning canal with floral bridges all contribute to a visit that is not to be missed.
I love this picture because it captures both the beauty of the flowers and the historic architecture in the background.
