L'étang
Yet another pond in Lorraine. I am not sure whether this was part of the Maginot Line system, or whether the villagers just decided that, if everyone else has a fishing pond, we want one, too.

Shades of green
Another of the little lakes in the Maginot aquatique. This time less anglers, more swans.

Yellow boats in the sun
The Franco-German Express is not the only means of transport available to the visitors of the park. Yellow pedal-boats are available for the energetic, too.

Pitter-patter in the forest
By the time I had got from the sunken forest to the next lake in the chain, it had started to rain. This is an attempt to capture the experience of being under the shelter of a canopy of leaves as the raindrops fall on the open lake.

Sunken forest
The silver grey pit heap with stairs is located in the Saarbrücken Urwald, a forest that was originally used to supply the coal mines with timber. Since 1997 this forest has been given over totally to nature. Near the pit heap is a chain of small lakes, including this one, which I assume has flooded these trees in the course of mine subsidence. Or is this another mystery of the forest?
