Place of music and dance

Aka Cité de la musique et de la danse, the most musical building in town, musicians (and I suppose dancers) rehearsing at all hours. Also a concert place, a few hundred meters from the city center.

Monday mural

My first entry to the Monday Murals theme: Check it out, here!

It's the weekend, and it's black and white!

More b&w here!

Running late!

Well, late for Skywatch Friday anyway! Click here!

Holy cow!

One of the statues stored inside the old Vauban fortification. Leftovers from the (catholic!!!)
cathedral, I believe.

Spring?

Printemps: french for springtime. What used to be a haberdasher shop, sells now clothes and leather goods, only the most expensive brands. Behind all the metal and glass, is a brick building. In front, the main tramway hub in town

Orangerie

Colors of fall

A coffee in the park

 Well, I need my coffee fix, and I need it several times a day. Had one here today.

The red house

A hotel, replacing an old 16th century inn

Blue house with angel

In the soap street

A 2-parter...

Oops, a bit missing. Here it is:

...from the small petting farm in the Orangerie park, place I've been visiting now and then for the last 50 years. Memories!

Don't go me on the ghost!

Our dear neighbors on the other side of old father Rhine, 3 miles or 5 km from here, have a way with words... Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about Goethe or Schiller, oh no! I'm talking about those everyday expressions... translated in English, word for word.
Peace, joy and eggcake to you, my friends! LOL!

Out of focus...

Out of a lot of things! Easiest City Daily Photo theme ever!!! More, here.

Tomorrow is CDP theme day...

... the theme being "out of focus". So, (un)sharpen your cameras! Stay focused!

Autumn in Strasbourg

The sky above...

Fitting ceiling at the Sofia airport metro station... Even by grey weather.

Paying to take photos...

A shocking thing to me, having to pay for the right to take photos, specially as a sign forbids it... Anyway, this is St Alexander Nevski orthodox cathedral in Sofia, Bulgaria, the town's main attraction (see the photo I posted a few days ago).
Well, I paid (the price of a good meal in a good restaurant), and I didn't regret it.
More info as usual given by Wiki.

Rilski Manastir

AKA Rila Monastery, Imagine, a over 1000 years old place, totally lost in the mountains, 120 km south of Sofia. A truly beautiful place. More, here.

One heck of a landing!!!

Well, this is not Strasbourg. I was away for a week, to the beautiful city of Sofia, Bulgaria. A dangerous city in a way, as the planes are crossing the city centre before landing. But what a view!!!
Well, this the Alexander Nevski cathedral, orthodox. More about it later.
