About the artwork

In the early hours of the morning, when the world is still shrouded in a delicate veil of darkness and the first rays of sunlight begin to dance on the horizon, there is a magic that never fails to captivate me. On one such day, as the golden sun rose over the picturesque Moselle, I decided to capture this enchanting spectacle in a homemade photograph.
The calm waters of the Moselle reflected the brilliant sky and made the gentle glide of a majestic cargo ship seem like a painting. The morning breeze played with the waves and lent the picture an atmosphere of harmony and peace.
But it was not only nature that revealed all its splendour that morning. The small town of Merl, with its neat half-timbered houses and inviting alleys, also seemed to have awoken from its sleep. The sun's rays tickled the roofs and gave them a warm, golden glow that bathed the entire panorama in an enchanting light.
The mood was almost magical, and at that moment I felt at one with nature and the surroundings. It was as if time had stopped to let me immerse myself in the beauty of that moment.
This photo always reminds me how precious and fleeting such moments are and how important it is to keep them in my heart. It is a memento of the poetry of life hidden in the simple things, waiting to be discovered by us - be it a sunrise over the Moselle, a cargo ship on the water or a picturesque place like Merl.
May this picture always be a reminder that it is worthwhile to capture the beauty and magic of life and share it with others. Because in such moments we feel how we become part of something bigger and how the world touches us with its beauty and mystery.
