The light at the end of the tunnel...

The massive entrance to the old citadel, part of the fortifications fighting off nasty Germans. Or French. Attila and his Huns came much earlier.  Now a beautiful park. Old photo, but I'll be there next Saturday, together with about 200 ONGs and charities. And food trucks!

Weekend reflection, with ducks

Last spring... Sorry, I mean last week! Winter is upon us once again.
Did you spot the other duck???

Passerelle des 2 Rives

The pedestrian bridge (passerelle) linking both shores (rives) of the Rhine river, by the architect Marc Mimram, a master of mathematical science (wow). Quite impressive, but Calatrava, he is not. Calatrava was too expensive, I guess.
Well, what can I say, I am a big Calatrava fan!

Not your average hotel...

This, ladies and gents, is a hotel. You cannot book it on your favorite website, as they only accept insects. A insect hotel indeed, open to anyone with more than 4 legs, I guess.
You wouldn't want to stay there anyway. Although I stayed in places with same crowd... Sigh, memories...

Not a shy beggar!!!

Still at the Orangerie park... A hungry bird, a cotton candy lady. The bird seems to be a regular customer, as the lady was feeding him no candy, but mince meat. Which is not usually used  in cotton candy (oh well, what do I know... Different countries, different customs. Lol)
