So yes, that was what I did. I took a stroll around Le Petitie France. The scenery was so beautiful and picturesque that I just wanted to get lost, to wander to some hidden alleys, to breath in the gorgeously crisp but cooling fall air. Of course I didn't get lost since this place was as touristy as you could get. But amazingly, it wasn't that crowded even though you could see lots of tourists. I still managed to capture some shots without people or with a lone man walking.
No word could describe my experience but it was what Europe in autumn should be in my mind. Leaves turning yellow, the weather getting cooler but without the biting chill of winter, people in pretty coats walking around (even it is tiring to wear such coats all day long), plus beautiful half-timbered houses. All the stresses would disappear in a instance.
I have no word but plenty of pictures to show you. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
You could see this scene in at least half of the postcards about Strasbourg
Maison des Tanneurs, famous for being an attraction and a great restaurant (regretfully I didn't dine here)
Of course I didn't give a miss. This was how I had imagined myself if I visited a European country
Another shot beside Maison des Tanneurs
Gorgeous half-timbered houses blending beautifully with quiet canals
Another shot of myself in a sunny autumn afternoon
A house covered with red vines, which I had only seen it on photos and TVs before
An alley with a lone man walking, whom I guessed was a local
