Green, green, greener!

The city is getting greener almost every week, thanks to the green city council.
 

A quiet place

The garden of the Oeuvre Notre Dame, the institution taking care of the cathedral.
 

Dudes, we're watching you!

 

A Monday Mural

Have a closer look... Trompe-l'oeil! What is real, what is painted?

More Monday Murals to be admired here.
 

A weekend reflection

There is a seal in the water, should you ask.

More weekend reflections here.
 

I am the walrus

Just back from a daytrip to Karlsruhe, 75 km away in Germany. My friend wanted to see the zoo. Hot summer day, 30 degrees C. Nice day.

 

Faster!

Riding naked on a big snail... Selfie? Could have been, but no... Could not find a big enough snail.

More b&w here, as usual.
 

Baeckeoffe!

(Not so) Typical alsatian stoneware. Just what you need for a good baeckeoffe! Vegans, vegetarians: don't click on the link! A baeckeoffe, well done, is just divine
 

Rue du chaudron

Cauldron street, near the cathedral. Called "novus vicus apud praedicatorum juxta domum liberorum quondam Philippi apothecari" in 1330 AD, "a new street with preachers near the house of the children of the the late Philip's storeroom".... Long name, but I suppose it was a good indication to the place, a kind of medieval GPS...
 

No parking!

What was a parking in front of the Temple Neuf a few days ago, is being transformed into a meeting area, with grassy hills, benches... Part of the city council's effort to bring nature in town.
 

A "Marvel"-lous Monday Mural

By Jaek El Diablo, very inspired by hip-hop culture. More Monday Murals to be seen here.
 

Shopping mall???

Nope, just a German train station.
 

An Italian weekend reflection

Sigh... Wish I was having an espresso or a pizza in beloved Italia...

Anyway, click here for more weekend reflections.
 

Weekend in black and white

Well, I am not a churchgoer. Except to admire the art and architecture. And to take photos, bien sur! This was yesterday, in the Freiburg cathedral, southern Germany. The young girls were part of a French school trip. France is just a few kilometers away, and so is Switzerland.

 Wanna see more nice b&w? Click here, dudes and dudettes!

 

Fun at the Bächle

Daytrip to Freiburg im Breisgau, in the German Black Forest, 2 hours away. The Bächle , south-german word for a small brook or river, runs through the old town since 1220 AD, and is apparently  a font for infinite fun for youngsters.
 

CDP monthly theme day: the road

Parking on the road.

More road photos and posts right... here
 

Berlin

On cold December day, a few years ago.
 

Abbattiamo le frontiere

Let's break down borders. I totally agree with this mural in Genova, Italy, as I consider myself as a world citizen. 

More Monday Murals right... here.
 

Place du Marché Gayot

A good place for lunch or brunch in the sun, just behind the cathedral.
