Petite France

 

Nice house of the older part of town

Post 2500

 Or 4436, with my old CDP blogs, Barcelona and Amsterdam. I'll be celebrating with a pot of coffee.

Guess where?

I give you a clue: this is not Strasbourg, even though we have a few rivers and canals, a lot of boats...
 

Monday

I like old fountains with character!
 

A quick foray

... into Baden-Baden, Germany. Watching this weird looking fountain while enjoying a coffee.
 

A weekend reflection

One of several floating restaurants or bars in town. More weekend reflections here.

 

A minimalist weekend in black and white

Sorting out Christmas decoration. I know, it's far too early! And yes, this really is a xmas decoration, ever so slightly altered, lol.

More b&w here.
 

Autumn colors

 

I want to ride my...

... ostrich! Mounted police?
 

Well, I guess autumn has finally started...

Yesterday was a rainy and stormy day.
 

A Maltese cat mural

Seen in Malta a few years ago. More Monday murals here.
 

Opéra National du Rhin

On top of the building, the muses, Euterpe, Clio, Thalia, Melpomene, Erato and Terpsichore. The opera was built in 1804, destroyed (war) in 1870 and rebuilt 3 years later. A glorious building. To be called a "national" opera is a consecration in France. Gonna watch Lakme, by Léo Delibes, can't wait!
