Cataplanas reflections

A cataplana is an item of cookware used to prepare Portuguese seafood dishes, popular in the country's Algarve region. The cataplana is also the name of a typical dish down there.

 As usual, more weekend reflections right...HERE

A few years ago, a group of locals decorated a pedestrian street in the city center, the aptly named "children's play street", rue du jeu des enfants. The whole streets, walls, they painted even the pavement. Good job! 

More b&w here, for your weekend.
 

Vicus caecorum

Vicus caecorum in 1252, or blind street now. Rue des aveugles in French, Blindegässel in Alsatian (no, not German...) It describes my life pretty well. I have a bad case of cataract, waiting for an operation. The world is hazy. Oh well, I still can see enough to post, read, cook... Everything will be much clearer and brighter after the painless operation. Can't wait!
 

Open!

Good news! Since yesterday, you can have a drink on a terrace, without a mask, and without having to show a Covid pass! I think I'll have a coffee!
 

March CDP theme day: solitude

Solitude. But, you might notice the 2 people, far away.

More theme day posts here.
 

Pizza, anyone?

But no pineapple for me!!! It's a big NO NO NO!
 

Presqu'ile Malraux

The central public library, aka médiathèque André Malraux, on the Austerlitz Bassin. The cranes are what remains of the old docks from past times.

Knoch knock knock

A beautiful handle, seen on a splendid palazzo door, somewhere in Italy. 

More b&w for the weekend right here.
 

Summer in the park

 

The port

Strasbourg lies on several rivers and canals, the most famous being the Rhine. Small boats are not allowed on the Rhine, too dangerous. But on the canals, you can go west, north, to the Med 900 km away... Or you can just live on a boat. The big thing above is a tramway bridge.
 

Warmer times are coming

Can't wait! Hopefully without a mask...

Today is palindrome day! 22.02.2022. Can also be an ambigram. Waiting for 22.22 hours now.

 

A Monday "mural"

Well, not technically a mural, but I like it. A lot. Wanna see real murals? Click here.
 

Michelangelo

Still alive and kicking in Florence!
 

Enjoy your weekend!

 

Weekend in black and white

Should you be wondering, this is not some nasty virus: it is part of a lamp, from back in the 60es or 70es.

More b&w here, as usual

                                                                  And more reflections here 

 

Electric panda...

 ...having a smoke?

Not my style...

Every December, there is ca kind of... challenge: who will wear the ugliest Christmas sweater... Not my thing, as I prefer nice clothes. Would you wear this thing above?
 

No music no life

And that's a fact.
 

A Swiss Monday Mural

Well, last week I went to see my dealer in Switzerland... My drugs: chocolate and cheese! And as always: looking for murals. Like this one. And btw, yesterday's cheese fondue was pure bliss!

More Monday Murals needed? It's here.
