Schengen

On Sunday R and I headed out to Schengen, a small town in the southeastern part of Luxembourg. We had heard of the town and knew its historic European significance, but were surprised when we happened upon a commemorative ceremony celebrating the 35th anniversary of the signing of the Schengen Agreement. It was just luck that we had decided to explore the town on that day.

Other than those gathered for the commemoration, there weren't a lot of people around - which made it a perfect day for hiking around the town, free from any crowds or other tourists. The weather was mild and cool, and we enjoyed a couple of hours of sweeping landscape and vineyards.

The Moselle.

I loved the wake of the swan's glide.

A piece of the Berlin wall.

A sculpture representing all of the countries in the Schengen Area - I assume that people from these countries place the padlocks on the space depicting their homeland.

It's a wish of so many.
