The wind is rising! The first late-summer storms have come. After the heat of this extraordinary summer – the hottest on record since over 100 years – the refreshment and rain they bring are more than welcome. My picture of the month shows a storm brewing over Lake Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Shortly before the storm broke, the light over the lake was so special! |

The rising wind made me recall those most beautiful lines from a poem written in 1920 by the great French poet and essayist Paul Valéry (1871-1945): „Le vent
se lève! …
Il faut tenter de vivre!"
