The urge to destroy...

Back to Paris for a bit. Do you agree with this statement?

Very boring zoo

Only tigers and cobblestones.

Child's play street

Child's Play Street, part of 2 recently pedestrianized streets, and decorated by their inhabitants. Very nice job!!!
As usual here, the street's name is in french and alsatian.

Merci Trump

Thank you, Trump. Sign of things to come?

Let's talk about revolution!

Have a comfortable seat, have a drink, and let's talk about revolution!

Seen at the Catholic Student Club, aka FEC (hello to all irish! LOL)....... I'm NOT a member there!!!

Nice hat shop at the cathedral. And a nice tan!

September 1st: CDP theme day! Photographing photographers. I guess selfie makers do count...

A weekend reflection

More Weekend Reflections here

Saving the cathedral!

Right. There was that guy making bubbles. Big bubbles, really bis ones. So, I waited, ready to kill any bubble big enough to take the cathedral (in the background) away! Or a kid.

If you're going to Strasbourg City....

...be sure to wear a flower as your head

Ettlinger Tor

A pirate ship (below) in a shopping mall in Karlsruhe, medium-sized german city nearby

Hot!

It has been a hot and sunny day.

A reflection on changing camera

Unfortunately, I had to buy a new camera, as my old DSRL doesn't recognize RGB (colors red, green and blue) anymore. Boohoo!
So, first trial with my new Panasonic Lumix TZ80. Very happy with it for the moment, despite of a steep learning curve.

Don't do it, Vincent!

More Monday Murals here.

Breaktime

Some colorful bikers in need of the break, this afternoon in Strasbourg. You'll never see me wearing anything like that!!!

Walking my human

In Montmartre, Paris

Too many thoughts...

Street art, Paris

El mar adentro/the high seas

On my way to...elsewhere

The little shop of...

I think they are reconverted fishtraps, some of them turned into lamps. In the little town of Cefalù, on the sicilian north coast

Montmartre musings

One early morning on the steps of the Sacré Coeur basilica

Il Galeone Neptune

So, I travelled a bit... Does this ship look familiar? You might have seen it in the 1985 Roman Polanski movie "Pirates". A reproduction from a spanish galleon, you can now visit it in the port of Genova, Italy. 6 euros.

Early morning at the train station

Hi there. Back after a longer hiatus, was very busy, and travelled a little, mostly to Paris and Italy, north and south.

City Daily Photo's theme day: motion

To see more motions pictures (lol), just click here!
For Weekend Reflection pics: here!

Cigarette break

2 minutes...

... before the storm. Well, not much of a downpour, mostly lighting. One of them hit a house on the right side of this photo, smoke, firemen, a little rain, the whole shebang.

Anyway, don't forget to click here to see more of Skywatch Friday!

Skywatch Friday

After the thunderstorm... More skies here.

Little Venice

Half an hour away, the pretty town of Colmar, with a few canals, therefore they called Petite Venise.
Colmar if the birthplace of a Monsieur Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, an important man for US of A, as he build the statue of Liberty

June theme day: nature

Happy June everybody! Join us here to see more nature photos on this theme day!

Calm before the...

...the hordes of tourists.

A few hours away

In dire need of a break,... Let's go to...

Chilling...

...at the Orangerie

More water, Niki!

Welcome back to Paname, Paris! Not wanting to make yet another postcard picture of the Niki de Saint Phalle fountain, (specially as there was no water), I played a bit around. Hope you'll like it.

Yet another Aussie in town ;-)

We have a few kingfishers in the area, but this is most probably the only kookabura  in town. He might be from Mooloolaba, who knows?

Le printemps - Spring

Just before sunrise...

...while sipping the first coffee of the day.
Don't forget: Skywatch Friday is here!

Are you looking at me?

At the Orangerie park, yesterday

Early morning

At the central train station, built by the german occupier in 1883. There is coffee there! :-)

Insomnia

So last night I couldn't sleep, for some reason unknown to me. Well, I decided to take the first bus to town (5.20AM), had a coffee at the train station, went for a walk. This is the Petite France, just before 6 AM. So peaceful and quiet.
Tired now.

Let's eat! Theme day!

Yeah babies, it's the monthly theme day of the daily photographers! So, let's eat!
Willem, Rio and Sophia having a hearty breakfast.
Don't forget to check other entries to this theme!
Where???
Well, doh: here of course!

He has pig!

Aka "der hat Schwein", colloquial german for: lucky guy! Today, in our neighbour german city of Kehl, now only 19 minutes from Strasbourg city center thanks to the new international/binational tramway.

Yesterday for tomorrow

Yep, still not Strasbourg. Hier pour demain, shop specialising in vintage items, from the 30es to the 60es.

Paris reflections in black and white

Ok, this not Strasbourg! I spent a few days in Paris, needed to get out, again. So, you know the drill: more reflections here, and more b&w here. Click, click! Simple, no?

Spring

Nesting in the sun

Summer

Well, not quite, but it certainly feels like it

Summertime, and the going...

... would be easy, if I still was on that italian beach. 24-25 degrees C this weekend. Sigh.

Abdullah Öcalan

A group of people has been camping in front of the Council of Europe in hope of freeing their leader (quote). More about it here.
Now turkish people, friends, this is in no way propaganda!!! I'm just taking photos about Strasbourg, that's all. No need to put me in jail, or something! This is about photography and about Strasbourg, not politics
