Here, a bomb from the Second World War is discovered near the Büchler Bridge. I particularly like the light in this photo, the station is lit by a beautiful winter sun while the police, who have set up a security perimeter, are in the shadows waiting for the bomb disposal team to do their job.

There is a moment just after sunrise or just before sunset that photographers call the golden hour. This very short moment, also known as the "magic hour", offers a natural warm orange light that makes every landscape or portrait look a little magical.

The Crown Prince Guillaume visited the facilities of Victor Buck Services in Foetz. Unfortunately I did not have access to the laboratory, so I took this picture through a glass window. There’s this white halo effect that creates a special atmosphere.
Alexandra, Bohdan and Kaleriia

"I still can't believe that there is a war in my country," says Alexandra, whose husband stayed behind in Ukraine to fight. The 33-year-old arrived in Luxembourg with her 11-year-old son Bohdan and her young daughter Kaleriia. Taken in by a Luxembourg family, they are trying to rebuild their lives, but only hope to return home (text by ).
It is when you are confronted with such stories that you realise the sad reality that takes place not so far from here.

Nadine Schauer, who has multiple sclerosis, has taken up equestrian therapy. I don't often get the chance to photograph animals, but here the session went really well. There was a natural interaction between the animal and Nadine right away.
Bank holidays

Sometimes you just have to look at things from a different angle. Here, the strict uniforms of the soldiers accentuate the graphic effect induced by the diagonal line.

A stranger in front of a monumental painting by the Vietnamese artist Nguyen Xuan Huy. The colour of her coat and the frontal viewpoint create an optical effect that embeds the person in the painting.

The weather was not ideal for taking pictures of the CJEU towers. But once we got there, the sky cleared and the sun's rays were able to highlight the golden towers.
