A bank or a bevy? A flock?
A group of swans has many names depending where they are or what they are doing...A bevy when they are on the ground, a wedge when they are on flight, a bank when they are on a river... I'll call them a flock.
More b&w here.

Colmar
Nice town, 65 km south. Birthplace of Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, creator of the statue of Liberty, the one in New York (several others around). Btw, the actress Eva Longoria is there right now, filming a food documentary for CNN. She was in Strasbourg as well, for a few days.

Canal Saint Martin
Photo from an old trip to Paris, my old home in the 80es and early 90es. As usual, more b&w here.
For the lovers of classic French cinema, this is near the famous Hotel du Nord, quai de Jemmapes.

Oum pa pa
During summer, many concerts of traditional Alsatian muzak in town, bands in traditional outfit. We call it oum pa pa music, oum pa pa (repeated many times) giving you an idea of the rhythm. I have to confess, I can't stand this music, but it was worth of photo for my blog. Give me jazz or 70es oldies anytime! Or even Ozzy Osborne, everything is better then this! But not ABBA! I absolutely hate ABBA's muzak!

Every summer...
Every summer, the public transport company, CTS, renews kilometres of tramway tracks. The trams are replaced by a bus fleet. Thinking of those workers, with helmet and protective clothes, with almost tropical temperatures we're having...

Grand Rue
The old Strata Superior in roman times, BC. Now fortunately a pedestrian street, no more roman soldiers or carriages, only lots of tourists. Some nice restaurants.

A close shave
I spent a few days in hospital this week, for a 6 hours middle ear surgery. Home now, but I really need a shave... And more coffee. LOL

Zeus
Zeus, the metal horse who rode down the Seine in Paris, at last year's olympic games. In Strasbourg for a few days. Photo taken from far away, as I went there 2 hours before opening... Well, no choice in that matter, I couldn't go back later. No idea why they called it Zeus, probably an acronym.
