L'épicerie

Nice place for a quick snack in town. With or without a glass of wine. Better sit inside, it's a cold and wet weather.

Must be Christmas time

This must be the most decorated house in town, to my knowledge. I had to queue to take this photo yesterday, dozens of phone photographers... I was the only one with an actual camera.

Marriage merry-go-round, 4 photos

 




This is the Ehebrunnen, aka marriage fountain, in Nuremberg, 300 or so km from Strasbourg. This fountain, built in 1984, is based on a poem by Hans Sachs in 1541: Bitter-sweet married life. A portrayal of married life, from courtship to death. Interesting...

A soft November CDP theme day

I hate earworms! For this theme day, I was thinking about posting a cat photo. But... I watched a few episodes of the Big Bang Theory yesterday, one of my fav series. One the episodes included the song "Soft kitty, warm kitty". Song which stayed in my brain like forever. No kitty today, it might start again! So, here we go, a soft wool provider, aka baaaaaa.

You're a softy as well? Then click here!

A weekend reflection: Prelle

 

Photo from this week's short trip to Bavaria, Germany. Can you see the kind of metal cage hanging over the river? It is called a Prelle, a bounce, aka baker's cage. It was used for water penalties. The penalty was mainly applied to bakers. The weight of bread was prescribed by the authorities. If a baker was caught cheating, he was put into the cage, and dipped several times in the river.

More weekend reflections here.

Wochenende in schwarz und weiss

Meaning: weekend in black and white, in German. Why? Because I took this photo in the small town of Eichstätt in Bavaria, half way between Munich and Nuremberg, 2 days ago. I used to live and work there, 30 years ago. One of the 2 Frenchies in town... This is the huge Residenzplatz, siege of the local prince-bishops. Yep, it is an extremely catholic place! And very lively, over 5000 of the 13.000 or so inhabitants are students at the catholic university.

Anyway, wanna see more b&w? Easy-peasy, just click here.
