1000 years... Not me: the cathedral, in the background!
1000 ans... Pas mon age, mais celui de la cathedrale, silhouettee au fond de la rue!

Germany, as it is NOT!
Just outside the same mall, I took this photo.
It says: here lived
Julius Dreifuss, dead after being deported. Paris, 1943
Rosa Dreifuss, deported in 1940, dead the same year.
Harry Bruchsal, fled to Palestine, survived.
Sofie Bruchsaur, deported, murdered in Auschwitz
Julius Dreifuss, fled to Palestine, survived.
Just a reminder to that minority (or so I hope). I am Jewish, I am Christian, I am a Muslim, I am an atheist. I am gay. If you don't like it, go to hell.
Oh, you're already there...

Aux amours citoyens
Paraphrasing the chorus of the Marseillaise, the french national hymn (written a few meters from here, btw) : aux armes citoyens, to your weapons, citizens, replacing weapons by love. This is manifestation of support, at the aftermath of the 13.11 killing in Paris.

Quai Lezay Marnesia
As I mentioned it last week, trying to have a more artistic flair for this new blog of mine. Basically, having fun! I used Adobe Lightroom 5.7, NIK and Topaz filters.
Comment mentionne il y a quelques jours, un flair un peu plus artistique pour ce nouveau blog. Bref, je m'amuse! Avec Lightroom et des filtres NIK et Topaz.

Cathedral - Cathedrale
We have a cathedral, NotreDame, Our Lady. This lady is exactly 1000 years old this year! A side chapel.

A symbol, un symbole
A pretzel, locally better known as bredschdel. Made here since the 12th century, at least.

Barbe a papa, cottoncandy
As spotted earlier this week, in front of the opera house, I saw it again on Sunday, in working order, but there were far too many people for a good photo. A brisk business!!!

Petite France
For this new blog of mine, I decided to be a little more artistic, using different programs and filters.
This is the area called Petite France, or little France, a UNESCO World Heritage site. More about it here. Incidentally, the town is 2027 years old...
Parti pris artistique pour ce nouveau blog, en utilisant les outils dont je dispose. La Petite France, quartier classe au Patrimoine Mondial de l'humanite par l'UNESCO depuis 1988, date du bimillenaire de la ville. Plus d'infos ici.
