The set up

First day of setting up the Christmas tree on place Kleber. By big, I mean: 30 meters, almost 100 feet tall, 9.3 tons. Now, the city workers have one month to decorate it, as the yearly Christmas market starts on November 27th, with millions of tourists... 

Pretty sure the girls on the photo took a picture of it.

Yet another utility box. You can hardly find a non decorated one in town...

Unrest

You might have heard of the ongoing high school students unrest. On my way to a shopping, passing my old high school by bus, I got tear gassed as well, as the bloody bus driver opened the doors... Anyway, ACAB means: all cops are b+stards. I disagree.
