Up or down

Montmartre, Paris, a while ago. The Irish flags? Nice pub, resting after a hard climb.
 

Foie gras, anyone?

Among other things, Strasbourg if famous for foie gras, goose liver pâté. If you're on a diet, it is not for you...;-)
 

Small female dog weather

Heatwave, starting today. In French, we call it canicule, from the latin canicula, meaning small female dog. Canicula, aka Sirius (from the Greek seirius, fiery),  is the main star of the Canis Major (big dog) constellation, 8 light years away. Since antiquity, the ancients have observed that our sun rises and sets with Canis Major, in July and August, when the weather in France is hottest. Complicated Frenchies? Not really, lol. 

Therefore, a man and his dog. In winter.
 

A revolutionary Monday Mural, compadres! El comandante Che Guevara.

Seen in the Raval area of Barcelona, ages ago. A hero of my youth. More Monday Murals here.

Transparent

After too many years starring at too strong sunlight, after too many years starring at screens, I thought I needed new glasses. Fact is, I needed urgent eye surgery, cataract as I was going to lose my eyesight, which is not cool for a photographer... First eye 2 weeks ago, second yesterday. This is what I have to wear for 5 nights after each surgery. Oh good: I can read with it, it's transparent!

More b&w here, as usual.

And for  the City Daily Photo monthly theme day (theme: transparent, you guessed it), click here.

Καλό μήνα! Kalo mina, as they say in Greece, happy first day of the month! 

Clinique Rhena

Photo taken this morning, very early. I've spent a few hours there, having yet another cataract surgery, the second in 2 weeks. Well, a photographer needs to see, ain't that the truth! Nice brand new hospital, at the German border, friendly people. And it didn't cost me a single cent, taxis home included!

 

Big bad pussycat! Kill, kill!

Erected in 1892. Fortunately, the styles changed.
