1200 years

One more photo from my trip to Molsheim, 20 km away, last summer. Molsheim is a youngish town by european standards, barely 1200 years old.
 

This is not a painting!

No, they are some flowers and plant, seen last summer in the immediate surroundings.
 

Molsheim

Inviting place in Molsheim, 20 km away.
 

A Monday Mural

Spotted near the archaeological museum in Herakleion, Crete, Greece. The name of the street, Agiou Titoy, or Saint Tite (or Titus), refers to the saint protector of the town. And the mural is about the minoan civilization.

At the museum

One of my favourite museum, all about science, in Paris. Something about data and internet.

Kehl am Rhein

Kehl, Germany, just a bridge away from Strasbourg.Often a part of Strasbourg, the city (approx. 36.000 inhabitants), became totally German last in 1953. A shopping town for us strasbourgeois, as many things are cheaper there: food, petrol, tobacco... It's about 17 mn from Strasbourg city centre by tramway.

More about it's chaotic history here.

October theme day: my response to COVID

You live only once... I was supposed to fly to Istanbul in march, on a gastronomical holiday, but my flights were cancelled. So, let's cook Turkish and other foreign food at home! Nevertheless, to fight cabin fever, I travelled when it became possible, Croatia in August, Crete in September, always checking the COVID stats before. Gorgeous food in both countries!

More COVID responses here.
 

Hopla!

A restaurant in the Petite France area. Hopla is the logo for Fischer beer. I'm not a beer drinker, can't stand it.

Rainy days

Don't throw cigarettes on the floor!!!

Orgy

 

Culinary promises? Or something else? The restaurant was closed when I passed by, so I didn't participate... :-) Anyway, good reviews on several websites. Normal kosher websites ;-)

Nikos Kazantzakis

 

Nikos Kazantzakis is, and remains one of my favourite authors. I discovered him in my youth, and he shaped it.

I can't't go to Crete without visiting his tomb.Every time.

I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.

 

Μια τοιχογραφία τη Δευτέρα

 

Greek, for: a Monday Mural. Mia toichografía ti Deftéra.

Well, running out of murals, I went to look for them on the island of Crete, Greece. Bingo! There seems to have been a mural "championship" in Herakleion, the island's capital, beautiful ones. Enjoy!

Back in town!

 Back in town, after a few days in COVID-free Crete (that's what they say anyway). Had an excellent time, apart of the things stolen from my bag by the ground handling crew at Heraklion airport.

Špiro (or Spiridon) Brusina was a croation malacologist (study of mollusks). His statue in on the seafront, in the old town of Zadar. A little more about him here.

Nice beard by the way!

Last theme day... Maybe. A favourite photo

Maybe the last City Daily Photo theme day. Or maybe not.

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.
