A Trabi! Aka Trabant, German for satellite. They stopped building them in 1991, in Zwickau, former GDR, East Germany. Seen 5 minutes from where I live, just next to my bakery. More info here.

Shopping done

The woman on the left was waiting behind me at the veggie stall. Now, we're both waiting for the tramway, in opposite directions. Craving for a nice shakshuka from my favourite cook's recipe !

A weekend reflection


Big cranes, what's left of the old river port. Now a lively area, with a cinema complex with over 30 screens, shopping mall, big public library, restaurants, a music academy, even a sandy beach during summer (no swimming though).

More weekend reflections right...here.

Resist!!!

Neither LePen nor her gang. The far right grievously harms LGBTQIA+.

 A political post. Photo taken at last Saturday's Gay Pride in Strasbourg. As you might now, we might soon have a far right government, a party founded by former members of the SS. I hope I don't need to tell you what I think about...

Hello, mate!

A temporary construct at the cathedral. Ideal for a nap, or for a good book.

... and a bottle of rum!

Very old photo, 14-16 years ago, in  Sitges, near Barcelona. This is a symbol for a company founded in Cuba in 1862, by Señor Facundo Bacardi Masso, born in Sitges in 1814. Try guessing the brand...lol
