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

Skywatch Friday

Sipping my first coffee in the kitchen, watching the sky...
Skywatch Friday is here

Le troquet des kneckes

Nice restaurant in the city center, with some rather special wall mountings. Troquet des kneckes means the boy's pub, in a mix of french and southern alsatian dialect. Yeah, down there in Mulhouse, they have kneckes. Here we have buwe.
