Summer window

 

Down by the river

 

Southern

Oleander, a southern plant at home in Strasbourg now.
 

Room with a view

The hospital where I spent the last few days.
 

Knock knock

That door looks solid!
 

Stern looking dude

Corner dude, probably angry because of the shit weather. Understandable. Smile, dude!
 

At the cathedral

Some fountains to cool the square (and some kids sometimes) down.
 

The Phrygian cap

A metal Phrygian cap that topped the cathedral in 1794, as decided by the anti-clerical revolutionary Strasbourg authorities. Our Lady of Strasbourg was the world's tallest building the with 142 meters.
 

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.
 

The tourist season is open

Has it ever been closed?
 

Who's this guy?

Unknown dude from ages ago... Tomorrow, weather depending, I will try taking a photo (or 5, or 10) of non other than...Zeus himself!
 

Parc du Contades

Another park in town. A former shooting range, made into a park in 1764 by the military commander, the Maréchal Louis Georges Erasme de Contades.
 

Rainy day

Rainy week...
 

Old style

I don't know how many of those old style lamps are around town, but they are everywhere. Electric lamps...
 

Stork family

We have a lot of them around here.

 

With fava beans...

... and a nice glass of Chianti? 
 

Collegiate Church Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune

Young Saint Peter, a gothic church with 14th century frescoes. La most beautiful church in town., 
 

Music

Music from the excellent Musicâme ensemble, last Thursday. I was too far away for a better picture.
 

Quai des Bateliers

To eat and to drink on the Boatmen's Quay. The red barge, Café Atlantico,  is a restaurant, the blue one, le Rafiot, a bar.
 

Orangerie park
