Out there

I went to the new planetarium a few weeks ago. This is just another far away galaxy. Are we alone??? Frankly, I doubt it.

And glorious photos from the James Webb Space Telescope right...HERE

Sausage galore

I am still unable to post on any FB group...
 

Watch your step!

More Monday murals here.

Unable to post on groups... I'm a spammer, according to FB! 

Market day

Vegans and other vegetarians, look away! The twice weekly market on Place Broglie.
 

Old people are cool

Well, I'm 65. But I don't consider myself as old. Cool? That's not up to me to say :-)
 

Landing platform

The "futuristic" main tramway hub in Strasbourg. Waiting for an alien spacecraft to land on the elevated circle... LOL

Anyway, more b&w here.
 

Tropical

Well, I braved the tropical heat this morning... They say, France is hotter than Saudi Arabia... To give you an idea...I'm melting away.
 

American flag blue

Reminding me of some pool in Washington DC...
 

Street lamps

 

Hats and legs

Sheltering from the heat. But watch out for that sunburn! Temperature could pass 44 degrees C, 111 F, on Tuesday. Same or hotter then Dubai...

Lilac

From the geranium family of plants

Going places

Any food somewhere?
 

A flamingo mural

Seen a few days ago in the town of Ulcinj, southern Montenegro. There is a nature reserve nearby, with hundreds of them birdies, but I didn't have the time to go there.

More Monday murals here, at Sami's blog.
 

St Thomas

Not sure how churches we have in Strasbourg (dozens?). Anyway, this is the Lutheran St Thomas church, aka the protestant cathedral. More about it here.
 

Going fishing

On the Albanian border.
 

Parisian ducks

More b&w right... HERE
 

Football free blog

Well, this one is dead. I've never understood the hype about pro or not) football, overpaid men running after a bit of leather, the beer filled rowdiness, the obscene amount of money, the violence, the deaths... Women behave better, I hope. Anyway, it's a big NO NO for me.

Thank god for Netflix!

 

Ribarske kuće/Shtëpitë e peshkatarëve

Fishermen's houses on the Bojana river in Montenegro, at the Albanian border.

The post's title means fishermen's houses, in Croatian/Albanian, some of the languages spoken down there. In one of my hotels, the owner spoke only Serbian. The old tower of Babel comes to mind...😀
 

Glacier

Somewhere in the Dolomiti mountain range, either in Italy or in Austria

More Monday murals here.

Nice kitty

 He set next to me while I was having a coffee in Ulcinj. Due to the amount of hairs in the chair, it surely was his.

Just a sea shell in the sea shore

 

Sunset 2

Southern Monténégro sunset 

Adriatic coast

 A few days on the beach... As it's a naturist, aka nudist, beach: no photos!

Little Italy

Ciao from Podgorica, the capital city of a tiny country called Crna Gora, aka Montenegro, in the Balkans. I usually go to a local specialty restaurant, but I was too tired. So, had to be a Sicilian restaurant next to my hotel. Worst pasta Bolognese ever...
