EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the heart of the Jura Mountains in eastern France, the picturesque village of Morteau unfolds along the banks of its namesake lake during the 19th century. This enchanting image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rural charm and simple beauty of this idyllic location. The serene lake, shimmering under the clear blue sky, reflects the surrounding landscape of rolling hills, lush greenery, and quaint stone houses. The village of Morteau, with its narrow streets and traditional architecture, clings to the slopes above the lake. The village's focal point, the Romanesque-style church, stands proudly at the center, its bell tower reaching towards the heavens. The villagers, dressed in their traditional attire, go about their daily routines, oblivious to the passing of time. Farmers tend to their crops, children play by the lake, and fishermen cast their nets, ensuring a steady supply of fresh fish for the community. The peaceful scene is only disturbed by the occasional sound of the watermill, grinding grain for the villagers' daily bread. The Jura Mountains, known for their natural beauty and tranquility, have long been a source of inspiration for artists and writers. This photograph is a testament to the timeless allure of Morteau and the Jura region, inviting us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life in 19th century France.
