Functional stupidity

Today is Thursday.
 

Minster

A better view of the Basel minster. Founded in 1019 AD, it is 4 years younger then the Strasbourg cathedral. Excuse my chauvinism... 😂 
 

Jean Tinguely's fountain

A nice day out in Basle/Bale/Basel/Basilea, the city with any names in Switzerland/Suisse/Svizzera/Schweiz/Schwyz. Correct me if I forgot something... lol. 

Anyway, there is this very nice and artistic fountain next to the Minster.
 

A Monday Mural

Mural inside the tunnel of the Saint Louis train station, southern Alsace, near Basle, Switzerland.

More Monday Murals here, to your perusal and appraisal.
 

Crossing the river

A grey and rainy Sunday in Strasbourg today, with 100 to 140 km/hour winds. Staying home today.
 

A weekend reflection

Last sunshine of the day.

More weekend reflections right here 

And I thought the moon was bigger...

It was called "the museum of the moon', central piece of an art exhibition last June in Strasbourg. A 7 meters inflatable moon inside our cathedral, based on NASA photos... Well, why not; after all.

More black and white art here. Click now.
 

Textures

A detail of a church
 

Waiting in the sun

Waiting for tourists in Chania, Crete, Greece.
 

February CDP theme day: power

No black tower (it's actually blue), although... The theme for February is: power. This is the European Central Bank. Need I say more?

More power(full.) post about power here.
 

A Monday Mural

Seen in Rome, a while ago. More Monday Murals right...HERE. Click.
 

Almost lunchtime

Goog-looking restaurant in the Petite France area. But too cold for dining outside...
 

A weekend reflection

Medieval Strasbourg. More weekend reflections? Click... here.
 

Surf is up!

The MS Moby Drea in the port of Genoa; Italy. Let's go surfing!

More b&w here for the weekend. Enjoy!

 

Cold and misty

 

Who let the dogs out?

The brown dog does not look happy... Damn paparazzi!
 

Well, don't.

Well, what can I say... Try not to fall in the river while showing your love to someone by putting yet another padlock... Or by putting yet another sticker on the buoy...
 

Ahoy, sailor! Post 1900

Seen in beautiful Zadar, Croatia. More Monday Murals right... HERE.
 

Earlier today

A grey winter day in town, looking for a coffee...
 

A weekend reflection

Strasbourg in Sunday dress. More weekend reflections right... here
 

Going towards the light...

...passing Marco Polo's shop.... lol. Anyhoo, wanna see more b&w? Just click here.
 

An opinion...

...to which I totally agree.
 

I want to ride my... broken bicycle

A new type of vending machine, selling all stuff needed to repair your bike. Useful!
 

Green drink

At one of the side entrances of the Tiburtina railway station in Rome. Looks almost radioactive.
 

A Monday Mural

Quite extraordinary mural... More Monday Murals right here.
 

Big blue eyes

The doggie is late to an appointment.
 

A weekend reflection

Reflecting as well about sea pollution... More weekend reflections here.
 

Hymnum canamus!

Let us sing to welcome the black and white weekend!
 

Sé de Faro

Panoramic view of the nave of the beautiful cathedral (or Sé) in Faro, Portugal, aka Igreja de Santa Maria.

 

Blue bird

Many tramways and busses here are quite colorful!
 

Wet pants

Not quite sure about advertising one's trade on a rainy day being such a good idea......
 

El cancrejo

Not many murals in Strasbourg, so, old Barcelona photo once again. El cancrejo = the crab.

 As usual, more murals here, every Monday.
 

I NEED HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Well, I haven't gone anywhere for over 6 months... Which is really bad for a compulsive traveler like me. But... Good news this morning: the Israeli border reopened to tourists. Haven't been there for absolute ages. Culture, food, warmth, beaches, mountains, desert... That's what I need. Maybe in March...
 

A weekend reflection

Old photo, from my years in Barcelona. More weekend reflections here.

Black and white weekend in paradise

It was on a hot summer day in Venice (aka: the place where I belong... I wish!). Good place for a cool drink: Ristorante Paradiso, near the Biennale Gardens. Want some more b&w? Click here, now!

Salute! Cheers!
 

10.35

 

Fantasia

One of the few merry go rounds in town
 

Burger, anyone?

No arches on this (in)famous burger joint in the city center! If you really need a good burger, I'd rather advice the place opposite, 4 or 5 guys serve much better food there!

Spring???

15 degrees C this week... Should be around zero, at the end of December. Never mind, enjoying the very unusual weather, all doors and windows open.

 

One of a kind

I have seen Christmas decoration most of my life, in about 18-20 countries. Usually, I barely notice them (just more decorations...). But I really like this unusual one!
 

Waiting for Harry P.

The local Hogwarts school of wizardry, aka lycée des Pontonniers. LOL
