Home is where the heart is...

... but today, the mobile phone is where the heart is.

Um mural para segunda-feira

Aka a monday mural, seen in Faro, Portugal. Maybe inspired by China Mieville's books. Perdido Station could look like this, in my mind anyway.

Play with me!

And not with your bloody phone!

Thousands of people...

Route 66

Well, we have a Route 67 here, aka the Route des vins, vineyard road. French departements have a name, and also a number. Strasbourg is the capital city of the Bas Rhin (lower Rhine) departement, or 67.
This is something else. During the 86th European Trade Fair, right here, right now, they organised a route 66 exhibition.Et voila. Enjoy your tomato soup.

The purple hour

Centraal

It's always good to go back to Amsterdam! Well, I'm biased, as I lived there...
From left to right: St Nicolas church, the central tourist office, and the wonderful Centraal train station.

Een maandagmuur

Another Monday, another mural... Just came back from a lovely weekend in the also lovely cities of Delft ans Haarlem. And good old Amsterdam, where I found this, at the entrance of the Centraal Station metro station.
MMM (more Monday murals) right.....HERE!

Ready to take over!

You never really know what's under your feet... Cables, water (there in a underground lake under the cathedral!), rats, tunnels... Or animals, ready to take over your balcony!

Post 777, which is also my favorite wide-body plane. Just saying. Carry on.

O Brazil

One of my top favorite restaurants in town! Their feijoada is to die for. Just... Sleep with your windows wide open, should you have it at night...

A belated and shortsighted Monday mural...

Yep, that's me alright! Robert le miro has been my nickname during my young years... Miro is french slang for shortsighted, or someone wearing glasses. And yep, I'm Robert, I've been wearing glasses since the age of 3, well over 50 years.
And no, I'm not related to the other guy... Or to Joan Miro (wonder if he was wearing glasses???)
More colourful Monday Murals at Sami's.

Resistance is futile.

It's back to school today in France, for millions of kids! Thousands of teachers started last week, to prepare classes, do paperwork, to prepare themselves... Shocking news: smartphones are forbidden in all schools from today! Oh well, guess kids will have to use their heads instead.

Summer in the city

September 1st CDP theme day: teach

I am fairly proficient in Adobe's Lightroom, filters, HDR, ACR, and so on, but nothing more complicated. So, I bought the books, watching the videos and trying to TEACH myself what must be the most complex photography editing program: Photoshop. Again. Wish me luck! :-)
More on the TEACH theme here.

A place in the shade

Good oirish weather today, rainy and cold, no need for shade. But hey, it's the weekend! Click here for more b&w to lighten your friday!

This is not Hogwarts!

Although magic happens there, the magic of education, in this international high school.
I know you've always wanted to know this: Hogwarts is called Poudlard in France.

19th century balcony

Enjoy your balcony while you can: violent thunderstorms expected later today.

A teaching place

Interesting balcony, at the international school.

One world, one chance
