Werner Ulrich's Home Page: Picture of the Month
Now "Ulrich's Bimonthly"
September, 2003
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 wind that announced the storm 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! "The wind is rising! … Let us try to live!”

„Le vent se lève! . . . il faut tenter de vivre!”
