B&W mural, for a change

Got the winter blues?

Everything around here is dark and grey. Here is some much needed color.

Weekend in black and white

Probably the most famous tree in town! Le platane de la Petite France, a plane tree in it's prime, only 352 years old. A good place to have a drink. During summer, that is, not now, unless of course you are wearing a heated diving suit.

Friends of b&w, you might have a look at an earlier post, right here 

Summertime

Already totally fed up with the grey and cold weather. Old photo, from much warmer and sunnier times

Fall

Saint Pierre le Jeune

Behind the altar

(Not so) Heavenly sounds

Well, not heavenly to me... I really don't like most Christmas muzak!!! With a few exceptions. Definitely nothing I can hear in town. Fortunately (for me anyway), the people in charge took the decision to mute the muzak. GOOD!!!

Rainbow night

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I thing every single rainbow color is on display here...

12 nights before...

The town looks beautiful, but far far too crowded. Over 2 million tourist expected over the holidays...

One year ago

Daech/ISIS terrorist attack. 5 dead, 10 injured. RIP.

Exuberance

Street lights, just street lights.

River fortress...

Strasbourg is a fortress right now. We've had a terrorist attack last year during the Christmas market, a guy killed 5 people. So, the city center, an island in the river Ill, is secured. Thousands of police, army, other guards in town. Most bridges are closed, to enter the center, you have to open your bags and coats. Queuing up to 15 minutes. 3 weeks to go. This is one of the few access points.
