Fighting religious hatred



I posted this photo 3 years ago. The LGBTQ theme decorated tramway. 3 years ago. To this day, I am still getting hateful comments, mainly from so-called "Christians" in the US (so it seems) and from Muslims. The last one today. Good enough reasons for posting it again. Fuck those religious assholes                                                                            ☝
I'm a atheist hetero btw, but it does not matter!

Meiselocker

A statue in the old town , gifted by the city of Munich in 1929. It's the tit piper. Tit, the birds, meise in Alsatian, mésanges in French. A poem on it's base, in Alsatian:

“Hey guys, it’s a beautiful morning.

You don't want us to attract tits?

There, in the Rhine forest, or in the lark field,

There are great tits, blue tits,

crested tits in large numbers.

Anyone who has never baited tits is not a real boy! »

Le Chat des Rives de l'Aar

The cat from the Aar river bank. A statue by Alain Séchas, 

"What interests me in the archetype of the cat [...] it is his amazement of stupor, his eyes, his absence of a smile which have been there since eternity, of the Egyptian cat to the one that caresses on his knees." A. Séchas


[...] This sculpture is placed in parallel with the river; On the road and rail, a real indicator of the flows, and the arrows on the asphalt also seem to indicate the meaning of its movement. If this cat is part of a before or after the scene on the neighboring ticket column, it is also available for other narrative connections linked to the vagaries of traffic. He carries the memory of the statuary, it is she who gives him his posture, but his gaze is turned towards the present and it is not accomplished as a work as in the passage of a train.

Kougelhopf!

Oh man, I love that stuff! Sweet, with raisins, or salty, with walnuts and bacon bits (my favorite). Very common here in Alsace, but also in most central European countries.

A drink en terrasse

A terrasse in France is an area outside a restaurant where people eat or drink. Not really during this rainy week though. But last week was fine.
