Bharat zindabad!

75 years Indian  independence today. Thanks to this man, the venerable (=Mahatma) Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. This bronze statue by Fredda Brilliant is in Tavistock Square, London.
 

Music!

At the cathedral
 

3 days!

We're having a 3 days weekend, as catholic France celebrates the assumption of Mary next Monday. Many strasbourgeois will head to nearby protestant German state of Baden-Wuertemberg (just over the Rhine bridge). Shopping!
 

Weekend reflection in black and white

Reflecting the central library on the Austerlitz dock in Strasbourg.

More b&w for the weekend right HERE, and more reflections THERE.
 

A favorite spot

Well ok, the main purpose of any bridge is to allow passage over  a place. Not this one. This bridge's main purpose is to serve as a tourist/photographer's highlight. One of the best places to view the Petite France area.

More b&w here. The flower is called cleome (thanks, Tom!)
 

Temple Neuf

The Temple Neuf, or new temple, is a protestant lutheran church in the town center. "New" is relative: the former church was destroyed during the franco-prussian war in 1870, rebuilt in 1877. The reconstruction was paid by the Prussians. Before, there was a big dominican convent, since the 13th century.
 Apparently, the church is very active

Through the wineyard

Alsace is a wine country, good wines. Mostly white wine, and a rosé, called the rouge d'Ottrott. Rieslings, Sylvaners, Gewurtztraminer, Tokay... Come and get some!
