Gandhiji

Mahatma Gandhi. My personal hero. The statue was a present from the Indian government to Strasbourg, in 2011. The artist is Ram Sutar, one of the foremost  Indian sculptors, also known for building the statue of unity in Gujarat, India.
Someone bring Gandhi some warmer clothes!!!

Blue

Blue sky, last summer. Well, it is winter now, we just had a first very fleeting glimpse of blue sky this yrar, all 5 minutes of it. Yeah!

K7

Things one can do with old audio tapes. Called cassettes in french, shortened to k7. Do you still have yours?

Palais des Rohan

The fountain next to the palace of the prince-bishops and cardinals of the Rohan family. A notable family from Brittany who at a time monopolized all the the secular and regular powers in town, with a whiff of game of thrones.
Well, I like this fountain. Can't say the same about the family.

City Daily Photo theme day: photo of the year

Chaos!!!

Like a fool, needing some parsley, I ventured into town this morning. Very bad idea! I absolutely HATE queuing in shops! Luckily, I managed to escape the "last Saturday before Christmas shopping chaos" unscathed (coffee helped). My bad: should have thought about that parsley before.

Weekend in black and white
