EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the magical moment of the annual arrival of storks to their nests in Strasbourg, Alsace, France (then part of Germany) around 1905. The image showcases a group of storks perched atop a chimney, their long, slender legs dangling over the edge as they survey their new surroundings. The chimneypots, a common feature of the rooftops in Strasbourg, provide the perfect nesting sites for these magnificent birds. The arrival of the storks was a much-anticipated event in the region, signaling the beginning of summer. The birds would return each year to breed and raise their young in the safety and security of the chimneys. This tradition, which dates back centuries, is still celebrated in Strasbourg and other parts of Europe, making it an enduring symbol of the region's rich cultural heritage. The photograph captures the beauty and grace of these birds in their natural habitat, their white plumage standing out against the red-tiled rooftops and the blue sky. The image also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the daily life of a European town over a century ago. The arrival of the storks was not only a sight to behold but also a source of inspiration for local artists and writers. Their presence added to the charm and allure of Strasbourg, making it a must-visit destination for travelers from around the world. Today, the tradition of storks nesting on the rooftops of Strasbourg continues, making it a popular tourist attraction and a testament to the enduring bond between humans and nature.
