A weekend reflection

This morning at the mall. Christmas (and 3 birthday in the coming weeks) shopping almost done....

More weekend reflections here.
 

Weekend in black and white

No time or energy for a photo walk... Old photo therefore, from the big meeting room of the Consell de Cent in Barcelona. And do not forget to click HERE, for more groovy b&w posts from my friends!
 

Almost winter

Cold and grey November days. The original photo was too grey to my taste, so I colored it.

Will we have snow this winter???

The Rhine valley

The valley of the river Rhine, seen from the Vosges mountains, just above Kintzheim village. The German Black Forest in the back, underneath the cloud. Photo taken last summer.
 

Jacuzzi with a view

Part of the newly renovates municipal bath house.
 

The lion

This has to be one of the best murals I know of. Barcelona, many years ago.

More Monday Murals here.
 

Le petit bain

Another view of the renovated municipal baths. The fountain is partly covered with gold leaves.

Weekend in black and white

I was lucky enough to visit the municipal baths in Strasbourg this morning. A historical protected building, build between 1905 and 1908, reopening next Monday, after 3 years renovation. Complete with 2 inside pools, 1 outside pool, several saunas, hammam, roman baths, a salt wall sauna, 2 gyms, massage, healthy cooking courses... I'm probably forgetting something. Truly magnificent. More photos to come soon.(In colors!).

More b&w here, as usual.
 

PMC

The PMC, aka Palais de la Musique et des Congrès. Quite groovy architecture.
 

Christmas is coming

The tree was put up yesterday. Once decorated, il will be the tallest Christmas tree in Europe, with its 30 meters. As usual. It will be ready for the opening of the Christmas market, on November 26th. 

 

Sally

 Recently, at the vintage fair. Every single Ford Mustang just has to be called Sally!!!

A great big mess

Cookbooks. Well, just a small part of them. Many more books... I really need to sort them out one day, reread them, give many away. It might take me a whole day. I will do it, no need to remind myself every 6 months. And I really should stop buying 5-10 books a month, more than I can actually read!

Anyway, more messy post here, for this month's CDP theme day.

Golden

Pinball

I can't remember the last time I saw one of those machines in a bar. Probably Paris, in the 80es. Anyway, I was happy seeing a few at a vintage fair last weekend. For sale, at truly gigantic prices. Hey, it's vintage!

Now, let's head back to my crazy youth. Nice boots, Elton me boyo!

Lost and found

Lost by someone, found by me.

 

Braving COVID

Holidays during the pandemic... I had to go away for a few days, cabin fever, lockdown... Last, it had to be Greece. Why Greece? Well, they had very few cases at that time. And I went to a small village in southern Crete, avoiding people. One year and a few months later: still alive and well, getting my third Pfizer jab in 2 weeks.
 

The meeting

 

Local products

One of a kind vending machine in the central train station, selling fresh local Alsatian products: Sauerkraut, complete with potatoes and sausages, horseradish (aka "Alsatian wasabi"), goose liver, munster (a very smelly cheese), different sausages, jam... A gueter! Bon appétit!
 

Electric

Number 10 city bus, in front of the central train station. Strasbourg is a green municipality, all tramways and most busses run on electricity.

Pas un temps à mettre un chien dehors

 

Don't you hate it when your paws are getting wet? 

The post title is a french expression: no weather to put a dog outside. Meaning: shite weather.
