EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the magical moment of a pair of storks nesting on a chimney in Strasbourg, circa 1905. At the time, Strasbourg was located in Germany, but is now part of Alsace, France. The storks, with their distinctive long legs and beaks, are perched atop the chimney pot, carefully tending to their precious egg. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and wonder, as the birds focus intently on the delicate process of incubation. The rooftops of Strasbourg provide a picturesque backdrop, with their red tiles and gabled structures adding to the charm of the scene. The chimney, a common nesting site for storks, is a testament to the long-standing symbiotic relationship between humans and these magnificent birds. The storks have been a symbol of good fortune and new life in European folklore for centuries, and this photograph captures their essence in a beautiful and timeless way.
