Birds allowed

I suppose the bird is there to choose dogs away...
Don't look at me, I'm not a dog!

Like walking on water

So, I went to Croatia for a week, Istria and Dalmatia. I didn't actually walk on water, I took planes, coaches, trains and a boat. Kept me (almost) dry, albeit sweaty.

Appropriate

Seen in a shop window. The next heatwave, canicule in french, starts tomorrow. The definition of canicule: at least 3 days in a row, with day temperature over 31C (38, they say, from tomorrow), and 21 C at night. Joy.

A weekend reflection

The barrage Vauban, part of the 17th century fortifications protecting Strasbourg from the evil Prussians. The ugly black building on the side is the hotel du département, an office building.

Let's call him... Donald.

Benvenuti a Roma!

Welcome to Rome! Well, no. It's actually in the inner courtyard of the Rohan's family palace, in Strasbourg (princes, cardinals, etc). I guess the bust represents one of the Rohans, no name I could see. They sure loved roman style architecture!

Empty

A weekend reflection

A very classic view of the heart of the Petite France area, a perfect reflection: no wind or waves, no ducks, no boats... There must be millions of similar photos or postcards... Well, this is mine.

La tête dans les nuages

Head in the clouds: someone who is easily distracted.
Well, Monday is usually when I post murals. This isn't really a mural, as the street artist Dan23 painted a small square, place de la Vignette, in Strasbourg. Hard to take a photo of the whole square/painting, always delivery trucks parking on it. Or you can click here , french only.
Real murals here.

Strasbourg is totally land-locked. Can't wait to be back on the sea!

The flâneur

Fernando Pessoa, waiting for a coffee in front of the Brasileira coffee house, in the Chiado quarter, Lisbon. Pessoa was the greatest lusophone ( = portuguese speaking) poet. More about this very interesting person right here.
There must be millions of photos of this statue. Well, this is one of mine.

CDP monthly theme day: neighbourhood

Well, this is my immediate neighbourhood, as taken from my balcony this morning, in Ostwald, just outside Strasbourg. Ostwald, German for east forest, or east wood. No, Clint does not live here.
3 more schooldays for the kids at the back.
More about the theme all around the world here.
