Garden chairs are out

Need some cushions though.
 

Temple Neuf

Or New Temple, a protestant church in the city center. New, because the church is only 154 years old... There was a dominican convent here before, since 1254. More info here.

Spring, so soon?

Well, this an old photo, but spring is definitely around the corner: early April temperatures, flowers everywhere, trees getting greener by the day... A very unusual February.

A weekend street reflection

Linking to... YES: the weekend street reflections!
 

No black and white today!

I often post in b&w, but I decided on a more colorful photo today, the grand entrance of the Musée Grévin, the Paris wax museum. More black and white later, promised!
 

CDP February theme day: street corners

Madrid, a few years ago, on a business trip. Many more street corners from all around the world to be seen... here.

Also linking to the weekend in black and white.

J'existe

Or I exist. I've seen this sticker in many countries, wondering what it means, what's the message. Here is the explanation. I took this particular photo in Skopje, North Macedonia, but it could have been almost everywhere, where I existed for a while.

Canary Wharf

Linking to the weekend in black and white, and to the weekend street reflections.

A favorite!

Oh I love my momos!!! Well ok, the ones at the Dillihaat market in New Delhi are better, but I'm happy with this small restaurant. Strasbourg a very multicultural food scene, Asian, Ethiopian, french Canadian, Korean, African, middle eastern... And many more.

Freeze

Freezing rain this morning, danger.

Last month

We had a little snow a month ago, just enough to make Strasbourg look beautiful.
 

Post 2600: "Spring" is over

Winter is here. 5.30 AM: minus 19 degrees C wind chill
 

Winter is coming

Yep, winter is coming this week, after a spring-like December, first flowers and all. The weather people call it a Paris-Moscow, a polar front coming straight from the North Pole. Well , it will not be as cold as in Sweden, down to minus 43 degrees C up there, but I'm getting my warmest clothes out!
