Καφενείο

Happy new year, everybody! Wishing you all to be able to enjoy a Greek coffee, ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΟΣ ΚΑΦΕΣ, some time next year!

Light at the end of the ... year?

The week between Christmas and the new year always seems to me as being rather strange, a little out of time. Will 2021 be good?
 

The red house

Wish I was there...

Christmas in black and white

Second post today, wishing all my friends from the Black and white weekend meme a very happy Christmas
 

Noël

Merry Christmas everybody!
 

Wishing for...

Hoping that you'll all get what you wish for... Not necessarily something material!
 

Last Christmas

This was last year. Not much to see, not much going on this year.
 

Morning has broken

As seen from my balcony. It may look cold, but we had 13 degrees C when I took this photo, at 7.30 AM, 55 F, very far above normal.
 

First winter morning

Strasbourg's cathedral, as seen from my balcony this morning
 

2 years

Last time it snowed here, 2 years ago. Christmas forecast: rain, 11 degrees C, 52 F. Grey Christmas ahead.
 

Wavy reflections

Sun and sea... My favourite kind of reflections.

3 hours...

A 3 hours stroll through town. Not a minute longer, or we might get a 135 euros fine, in case of a police control. We use an app to generate an authorization for shopping, going to the doctor, shopping, and so on. This said, I haven't been controlled this year, not even once. I don't know anyone who has.

Underneath the grande dame

On a rainy day in Paris, under the Eiffel tower.
 

Magic in the park

 

A bouquiniste mural

Spotted in Paris a while ago. The little guy says: nooooooooooooooo :-). One of many  bookseller's boxes, along the Seine river.

Stay home, they say...

While COVID  rages, here in France, tens of thousands of homeless men and women, refugees, asylum seekers are still living in the street, by wet and freezing weather. Once again, I'm ashamed of being French, even though the situation is the same everywhere... Helping where I can.

December CDP theme day: comfort food

Comfort food... For me, it is pizza (among others, alsatian Flammekueche, most greek or indian food, thai, chinese, ethiopian...), preferably from a wood oven, preferably in Italy!

More comfort food right here
 

Monday Murals

More cretan streetart. And more Monday Murals here.

The big bubble

The 19 century central train station in Strasbourg, covered by a 21st century glass bubble.

Rush hour

Well, not really now. This was taken during our first lockdown, on what is normally rush hour
 

Night is falling

 

Waiting for Macron

A restaurant and a hotel. Both closed. Second lockdown in France. We are millions waiting for the French president to announce (hopefully good) news tonight at 8 pm.

A shithead did it

Hundreds, maybe thousands of discarded masks on our streets here.... I went to the baker this morning, 400 meters away, I saw 7 discarded masks. My feelings? Furious, sad.
 

A weekend reflection

Coming to your screens from Padova, Italy! A strange (for me) mixture of old and new.

What's for lunch?

A nice fish soup!
 

Mecanic punk

 

Hidden garden

 

Antifa

A picture close to my heart... Antifa means bad things in some countries (USA...), but what is Antifa? People fighting fascism, fighting hate. And this is GOOD!!! This is what we all need to do!

The watery fire station

Most firemen in France are volonteers, but not in Marseille  and Paris, where they are army units, called sapeurs pompiers, sapper firemen. More about this here.
