Heading home, trying to outrun the storm.
 

Péniche mécanique

The "mechanical barge", a cultural place, which hosts concerts, stand up comedians, clubbing, DJs... And a bar, of course. In front of the biggest public library in town.
 

CDP September theme day: bridges

Old photo of the Dom Luis I bridge in Porto, Portugal, built by a disciple of Gustave Eiffel.

Merry Christmas!!!

You want Christmas, now? No problem, we have the appropriate shop in Strasbourg, open all year long!
 

Digitalis purpurea

 

Aka lady's glove, aka foxglove. I confess,  I've never seen a fox wearing gloves. This side of the mirror anyway.

As usual, more b&w here.

Weekend reflections

Leaving on a holiday... I wish, maybe next month.

More weekend reflections here.

Venezia

One of my favourite places on earth. I have been there countless times since 1981. I learned fluent Italian there, and quite good Veneto as well, the local dialect over the years.

More b&w here.

Nénuphars

A bench by the sea
