Spring equinox

Spring!!! Starting today at 4.33 PM, French time.
 

A weekend reflection

I never grow tired of posting photos from the Petite France area. Perfect for Weekend Reflections!
 

A sign of times

This is Isaak Iselin. Isaak was a 18th century swiss philosopher of history and politics. I really wonder what he would think of today's world...

More b&w right...here.
 

The perch

Public bird toilet
 

Someone's home

A sad sight.
 

This way out...

... of the underground parking.
 

Faster, pussycat!

More Monday Murals here.
 

Today, 2 years and 1 day after the first lockdown in France, end of the mask and covid pass mandate. You'll only need to wear  masks in public transports, hospitals and retirement homes. For how long, as the incidence is rising?????????

Solidarity with Ukraine

A regional administration building. It says: Alsace, land of the human rights, in solidarity with Ukrainian people.

Quiet in day in Germany. More weekend reflections here.

Yo soy magia

Yo soy magia, I am magic. Might be the door of a spanish-speaking, flower loving magician, here in Strasbourg. Well, we are a very international town!
 

The raven's courtyard

Probably the most beautiful hotel in town, with prices starting at 242 euros/night. It's a renovated 16th century building in the city center, an inn since at least 1528 AD.
 

Stony lady

Watching over a bicycle.
 

A Monday "mural"

Compared to other places, we don't have many murals in Strasbourg. But most mail boxes or electric boxes have been decorated. Many of them by local artist Jaek El Diablo.

Many more real murals here.
 

Climb the fence...

... at your own risk. A word of warning: this might hurt. They look almost like disused halberds.
 

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.
