Busy skies

A lot happening out there this morning... 6 airports in the area. I'll be joining all those travelers in a few days time, flying south to a warmer place, to some island life, to a lot of history, to some fantastic architexture. And lots of rabbits!

Mugshot

I am french. So, genetically, a coffee drinker. It's the truth, it is in my genes!
But... I've spent long years in tea drinking fields, England, Scotland, India, etc, and I've got infected... Yes, I drink tea as well!!! A nice oolong, or masala chai... Better than bad coffee!
And so, tea selling shops are spreading in France, it's a pandemic...
DEAR COFFEE DRINKERS:I'M NOT YOUR ENEMY!!!

Paradiso

My favorite bar/restaurant/exhibition place in Europe... In the Giardini area of Venice, and part of the Biennale

Pizzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Do you ever have a craving for an authentic Italian wood-oven pizza, with a little musica, a few canzone to go with? Well, I do, now. The nearest Italian pizzeria being some 400 km away, here is some musica, from Genova, city infamous from it's crumbling bridge.

Crossing the ponte degli Alpini in Bassano del Grappa, near Venice.

Colors

Something to light up a grey rainy day

Place Gutenberg

By rain, by snow, winter or summer...

The world and the Currywurst

Berlin without Currywurst is not really Berlin...Pork sausage, with ketchup, vinegar and curry powder  I like my Wurst as any German does, or half-German in my case. The Germans eat 800 millions of them every year, according to the Currywurst museum (I'm not kidding, there is such a museum) in Berlin. I'm travelling a lot, but I've never seen it elsewhere.
The hot air balloon, Welt is German for world, is probably taking the Wurst around the world....Could be worse...;-).

Walking through a sea of roses

Where is she going? Is she on her way to friends, to a trendy coffee place, to see her lover?
Seen in Faro, Portugal, last June.
More Monday Murals right....here.

Bridge over troubled water

Crossing the bridge. Wouldn't want to get my feathers wet, me!

Whiteout

Theme day tomorrow, the theme is: white. It snowed a little last night, but now, at 2 PM, it's all gone. The weather report predicted a snow apocalypse, but...FAKE NEWS, lol.
A lot more white here.
Post dedicated to my friends  Gunn and Steve.:-)

Deudeuche!

A shiny oldtimer! The 2cv, (deux chvaus, 2 horses, aka deudeuche) the quintessential french car, rarely to be seen nowadays. They were built from 1948 till 1990. Want one? They can cost over 12000 euros.

The door to...

... well-being. Technical door to one of the thermal springs in the neighbor town of Baden-Baden, 40 km away in Germany. One of the springs of my favorite spa, the Friedrichsbad

быстро!

A typical parisian bistrot, or bistroquet. Some say that the word bistro came from the russian word bistro, quickly, from when russian troops occupied Paris, during the napoleonic wars. As in: beer, quickly!
More about it here.

Budapest, with Jethro Tull

Let's go away for a day... I discovered Budapest last summer, and I love the place (and the local prices).
The parliament, office of the troublesome Mr Orban.

My photo, but obviously not my video!

A weekend reflection painting of sorts

A little digital painting today, trying to render the impression of snowfall. Well, kind off.
The Petite France area, of course, such a good photo spot!
