The Florence offices
Italian: gli Uffizi. What was built as an office building for florentine magistrates, is now one of the world's most famous museums. Wish I was there, as I did not see everything (too big, not enough time). And to have a caffé!

Podgorica
The international coach station in Podgorica, Crna Gora. Crna Gora, country better known as Montenegro, one of the very few European countries where you get stamps on your passport. Missing my old passports full of colorful stamps, sigh.

A Monday Mural
Scary. The thing is wearing an old Venitian medical mask, used during the black death.
More, hopefully less scary, murals here.

Water, bubbles and a few tourists
An old photo... No bubbles today, very few tourists, but a lot of water, as we have the wettest summer in 60 years. Non-stop rain.

A black and white weekend reflection
The building is the Médiathèque André Malraux, our huge central public library, named after a famous french writer and former culture minister.
More b&w here, and more weekend reflections here. And sorry for not browsing your blogs, as I'm having some extremely busy and tiring weeks.

Bassin d'Austerlitz
What was once and an international dock, boats from France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, the Netherland, England and the northern countries, complete with shipyard, is no a recreation area, with music school, a mall, a public library, a beach in summer, many restaurants, a huge cinema...

Bougainvillea
A flower named after the french admiral Louis Antoine de Bougainville, an interesting guy. Have a look!

Kanoni
Right at the end of Corfu airport, the Vlacherna monastery on the Kanoni peninsula. The monks left in 1980, too many tourists probably, and far too noisy. I went there early. When I left, around 10 AM, I counted a dozen tour busses, a few hundreds unmasked Italians... Not good.

The love channel
In Sidari, 40 km north of Corfu town, you can find true love... According to the legend, anyway. The beach is called Canal d'Amour, in French (I couldn't find out why). More about it here.

A Greek/Russian Monday mural. Cheers!
Well, I went to Greece last week, once again. The island of Corfu. And this is the only mural I could find, in an ocean of graffiti. Does not look very Greek, does it...
More Monday Murals here. Cheers, comrades! Nazdarovya!

Weekend in black and white
I needed a break, I needed a trip to Greece. So, one week in Corfu, without a computer! I am fully vaccinated!
As I tend to avoid tourist hotspots, I always go to the backstreets. One of the gems I found there.
Want more b&w this weekend (or later)? Click here.

Finally on the road again!
Away for a while, without a computer, after being stuck at home for a long long time... Not sure if I'll be able to post anything. Anyway, this airplane is a perfect tool for some sunny holidays on a Greek beach, lol!

A weekend reflection
The Castello degli Estensi, aka the castle of the Este family, in Ferrara, Emiglia-Romagna, Italy. Nice family home indeed! lol
More weekend reflections here.
