More Monday Murals here

One of six...

One of the 6 bridges crossing the Douro river in Porto. Moody weather.

Aeroporto do Porto

Fancy and big international airport, the 3rd I'm flying to or from on mainland Portugal.
Check out the other B&W pics on Dragonstar's very excellent blog!

Take it easy...

...take the tram! Porto is extremely hilly, lots of up and downs, leg breaking. So, take it easy!

A bird's eye view on the Eiffel bridge

Hi folks, I'm in Porto, Portugal, home of the port wine!
Gustave Eiffel not only built a tower, but he was a bridge builder as well.  The Don Luis the 1st bridge, here in Porto.
I also decided to christen the seagull... He didn't fly away when I came with my camera, he seemed to want to be on the picture. So, birdie, I name you Gustave. Live long and prosper.

Slow mail

Post from the fishmonger only.

Not Strasbourg!!!

Looking at the grey ky, at the very dark clouds outside my windows... I so need holidays!!!
Cefalu, Sicily, last August.

A weekend reflection

Rain, more rain, hail, Noah's flood parts 2 and 3, and a little sunshine in between...
More weekend reflections here.

It's a cold and rainy day...

... so, let's take the time travel machine, and go back to Genova, Italia

Inquinamento

Inquinamento, pollution in italian. Seen in Genova, Italy, 2 months ago. Big port, big pollution.

The little shop of...

I think they are reconverted fishtraps, some of them turned into lamps. In the little town of Cefalù, on the sicilian north coast

Montmartre musings

One early morning on the steps of the Sacré Coeur basilica

Il Galeone Neptune

So, I travelled a bit... Does this ship look familiar? You might have seen it in the 1985 Roman Polanski movie "Pirates". A reproduction from a spanish galleon, you can now visit it in the port of Genova, Italy. 6 euros.

A few hours away

In dire need of a break,... Let's go to...

More water, Niki!

Welcome back to Paname, Paris! Not wanting to make yet another postcard picture of the Niki de Saint Phalle fountain, (specially as there was no water), I played a bit around. Hope you'll like it.

Yesterday for tomorrow

Yep, still not Strasbourg. Hier pour demain, shop specialising in vintage items, from the 30es to the 60es.

Summertime, and the going...

... would be easy, if I still was on that italian beach. 24-25 degrees C this weekend. Sigh.

Wet and easy

Theme day again for us city daily photographers, different theme every 1st of each month.
Well, this couldn't have been easier! The theme is; WET. So, behold the wetness of an italian beach earlier this week! Wet indeed, and far too cold to venture further in, despite of the almost summery air temperature!
Dont forget to click right   here   to enjoy more wetness!

Sorry about the quality, phone pic.

Siberian day out!

I almost froze solid today. Being still used to more southern temperatures, minus 4 C, wind chill factor minus 11 C, despite of the sun,.. Very hard!
Anyway, I went to the lovely german city of Heidelberg, 140 km away. You get different kinds of mulled wines here, exactly what I needed!
