Carré d'or

 

February CDP theme day: virtue

Great virtue is like water. Water nourishes all things gently and does not compete with anything, content to be in a low place not sought by people. Lao Tzu.

Rehearsing

Young musicians with their bassoons, in tenor and bass ranges. A wonderful instrument, not just for classical music!

 

Not a food truck!

Even better, this is a coffee truck, during summer! Excellent, equitable coffee, by my "dealers" at Omnino.
 

The young Saint Peter

Saint Pierre le Jeune in French, the most beautiful church in town. Founded by Irish monks 1400 years ago, first dedicated to Saint Colomban.

Aka "tour des français". One of the 4 remaining fortification towers, built between 1230 and 1250 AD, to ward of the bad neighbors, French, Germans or others, depending of the year/century.
 

Oh deer!

A different Christmas decoration. The dear deer is probably looking for the closest forest.

What to do with old tapes??? We call this récup, short for récupération, upcycling, turning something old in something new
 

The day after

I hope you've had a good Christmas. Just in case of, like me, you ate too much, what about some exercise? Chasing the kitten, the dog... This croatian kitty in Split had a lot of energy!
 

Merry Christmas, everybody!
