Petite Venise

Or little Venice. Not in Italy, but in Colmar, nearby, along the river Lauch (means leek in English, funnily enough).

Be merry on Place Gutenberg!

Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg invented printing in Strasbourg. He didn't invent this merry go round on his homonymous square.

"I'm well done on this side. Turn me over!"

St Lawrence is supposed to have said it, when he was martyred on the grill. Immortalised in stone on our cathedral here in Strasbourg. The pink sandstone  stonework dates back 800 years... 

More b&w for this weekend here.

Delivery!

Don't want cooking? Well,  all restaurants are closed since October, open only for take away and deliveries.
 Delivery companies take 30% of the food you order from struggling restaurants... Capitalism. I don't use them, I prefer take away or cooking myself. Ubereats and other vultures? NO WAY! My money goes to the few open restaurants. Directly.

Sincere apologies for the earworm!!!!!
