A luzzu is a traditional maltese fishing boat. They always have eyes. This might refer to the eye of Horus in ancient Egypt.

A day at the flea market.
 

Le pote aux roses

Wordplay... To discover the pot of roses (pot aux roses), means accidently finding out the truth, in French. Pot, same word in French and English. But pote means friend, chum, mate. Therefore, he his the friend with roses. Voila.

Matryoshka

One of the very few Russian restaurants in town. Notice the Ukrainian flag...

In French, the name Putin is spelled Poutine. Poutine is the also the name of a yummy French-Canadian dish . Guess what? Some restaurants serving it got hate mails... And many Russian restaurants as well.
 

A detail

A detail.
 

Saint Guillaume

The yard of the protestant Saint Guillaume church, in the city center.
 

A loooong Monday mural

Let's (not) sing!

A Japanese import, getting more and more popular here. This box is in a shopping mall, next to a C&A. You won't see me there, as the guards would kick me out. I rather sing in my shower, all doors and windows closed: safer for me and my neighbors...
 

Let's go...

...this way.
 

Last summer

I sooooo need holidays!!!
 

A Monday Mural

Yet another beautiful face.

Oldtimer

Old cars, like this one, were far more classy than today's boxes on wheels.

More b&w here this weekend.
 

The artist

Well, I don't think the celebs depicted ever posed for him. But you never know, the policeman might be their bodyguard... Or not.
 

Post 2000

2000 posts since December 2014. Champagne? No: coffee!
 

No comment

Well, no comment.

We are far from any sea. At least, that's what I thought... I decided not to swim with these guys.

More Monday Mural right...HERE.

Sea of straws

My old home 20 years ago, on the shores of the Mar de Palha. In other words, Liboa/Lisbon/Lissabon/Lisbonne, depending on where you are from. If you've never been there, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???? OK, I might be biased, as  love the place, the people, the food, the coffee... A nice bica with my pastel de Belem: heaven.

Anyway, more b&w here.
 

Glycines

Or wisteria, in English. A lot of them around town.

Blue sky...

... on a rainy election day in France.
 

Selfie...

Yep, that's me. Anyway, more weekend reflections right here.
 

Cherubs or demons?

I guess they are supposed to be cherubs, little angels on this fountain in Florence. But for me, they look downright evil.

Good or evil, black or white... More b&w here.

Waiter!

One espresso, please!
 

Colors

Add some cushions, a small table, friends, coffee... Or tea, for some.
 

Naughty!

An army of naughty dwarves showing me the finger. I chose not to be offended. 
 

Early birds...

...share the worm!

More Monday Murals right... here.
 

About 170

About 170 bridges over rivers and canals in Strasbourg. Small number compared to the 438 Venice bridges, but hey, they have more canals than we do! 
 

Waiting for tourists

The boarding places for the sightseeing boats going around the canals. The tourists are coming back, fortunately, after 2... strange years.
 

Hello, bunnies, looks like Easter!

You know the drill: more b&w for the weekend here.

                                Happy Easter, joyeuses Pâques, frohe Ostern!

 

A lamp?

OK, quite frankly, I don't remember taking this photo. I haven't been back to Venice since the start of Covid, and I usually hundreds of photos every time I go there, which is 3-4 times a year. Anyway,  suppose it is a quite intricate lamp. What do you think
 

Meanwhile, somewhere else...

Wish I was there...
 

At the European Parliament

European and Ukrainian flags first.
