Hidden

Tough! It's winter, the leaves have gone, everybody can see you!

Food delivery!

A rest, before a long day. When Foodora meets Deliveroo, 2 companies delivering restaurant food. Long hours, little money.

It's birdie time!

Nice watches!!! Shows you when it's time to sleep.

There be dragons... Post 601

I used to see many dragons during my years in Barcelona (they love theNot many of them here. A chinese restaurant. Or is it vietnamese???

Contrejour

The Eastern Forest

I'm back! I moved to the outskirts of Strasbourg, to a bigger, nicer and much cheaper brand new flat in the small town of Ostwald (the eastern forest, in german), Oschwald in Alsatian. And I have a balcony now, yeah babies!!! BBQs soon!
Anyway, this is the view from my east facing balcony (yeah!), with the german Black Forest in the background.The Black Forest is very white and snowy right now, btw.
Good to be back, after 9 days of very limited phone internet, no TV, no landline, but with downright polar weather. I somehow survived.

We Alsatians

We Alsatians are officially french. But... We have our own culture, language (taught even in university), music, food, which has almost nothing to do with things french. Therefore, we have our very own alsatian museum, interesting place which shows how different we are from the frenchies.
But... We are french!

Ok, folks, I'll be moving to a new place this weekend. As switching from cable to fibre seems to be arduous, no internet for 2 weeks or so. So, I wont be posting, actually a welcome break, as I need to spend more time at other things. C ya asap!

Petite France

A 15th century house in the Petite France area. Yep, that's over 700 years old.We have a pharmacy, open since ...1268AD! Still standing, but it is now the culture bureau, since 2000.
Will your house still stand in, let's say, 6 or 700 years?

Delivery!

Better than pizza delivery, or kebab, burger, and so on; port wine delivery!
OK, this is in Porto, ot Strasbourg. Although I'm a 99% teetotaller (christmas and birthdays...), I like a glas of the stuff whenever I'm in Portugal. Anyway, that's how to bring the wine from the wineyards to town, along the Douro river

A Monday Mural

Watch out, guys!!!
More Monday Murals here, in Sami's colorful world.

Winter

We had snow again, yesterday. Well, half snow, half rain, wind, cold, real flu weather. But many cafés and restaurants still have chairs and tables outside, for the smokers. Not this one.

Let there be light

A new type of street lights appeared a few weeks ago, and I rather like it!
The weekend is as usual black and white! Click here!

Bastille (by) day

From a recent trip to Paris

Goooooooood morning, Strasbourg!

Very early (summer) morning in town, enjoying the blue hour

Colors

Seen in an art gallery. Love it!!!

I hate winter!

I am more of a summer kind of guy! It it so cold, perfect weather for polar bears and penguins. Which makes me wonder when we'll see one of them roaming the streets of icy Strasbourg...
Oh look, there is a snow leopard! Nice coat!

Taking a selfie???

Morning light

It always gives me a lift in the morning, when I watch the sun rising. I won't enjoy this view much longer, as I'm moving in 2 weeks from today. Oh well, there will be another view!

The original photo, to answer Gunn's question:

Weekend in black and white. And some grey.

Earlier this week... A lot of snow this winter, much more to come! Oh well, it even snowed in my old hometown Barcelona yesterday, imagine that!
