Weekend in black and white

Yet another photo from what is for me paradise. And more b&w here. I usually don't this, but here is the original photo in color:

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!

What size are you?

Alternatively, you can probably use one as a tent... No fat-shaming meant!

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.

Painting with a sticky... Wash the sticky sticky, or it might stay...sticky! More sticky photos here.

Lisa Belle

Nice boat... Probably a word play, L'Isabelle, the Isabelle.

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...

More weekend reflections right... here

Australian Pig Face

AKA pig face, beach banana, karkalla, sea fig... Carpobrotus rossii in latin, a native from western and southern  Australia. Question for my aussie friends wintering down under: pig face, really???

Bougainvillea

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

Monday 19 July 2021

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.

Weekend in black and white

I was recently welcomed to my hotel room by this strange looking...watchacallit? Any name suggestion welcome! Octopus dismantled? Quartered?

More b&w here.

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!

Friday 9 July 2021

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.

Are you ready...

... for a sponge bath? But don't get fooled by "delicatessen": do not, I repeat: do NOT eat them!!! ;-)

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!
More tools here, on the CDP theme day page.

Out of this world

The feeling I have every time I go there, the Paris science museum in the Villette area.
 

Saturday 26 June 2021

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.

Weekend in black and white

Weekend at the Orangerie park. Even more b&w here.
I'm away next week, without a computer. We'll see if I can post, or not.
