Wet and easy
Theme day again for us city daily photographers, different theme every 1st of each month.
Well, this couldn't have been easier! The theme is; WET. So, behold the wetness of an italian beach earlier this week! Wet indeed, and far too cold to venture further in, despite of the almost summery air temperature!
Dont forget to click right here to enjoy more wetness!
Sorry about the quality, phone pic.

Strasbourg, by night
Not living in the centre of town, I rarely go there at night. This week is the exception. I even crossed the whole town last night, at 2 AM! Those who know me will say: no way, Jose! Yes way! No busses, trams or taxis, what can you do... It was a very nice and enjoyable walk.

3 hours away...
... or the not quite easy task of shooting landscape out of a speeding bus. The Gran Sasso area in the wonderful swiss alps,

Au Crocodile
One of the better restaurants in town, popular among MEPs (members of the European Parliament). Not my price range.
The name comes from a stuffed croc, brought from Egypt by a general during the Napoleonic wars. The beastie still hangs above the entrance.

Segway riders
Well, if you are in a hurry, or just lazy, that's one way for going around. Guided tours are organized several times a day. Good balance needed!

Waking up...
Waking up to a beautiful winter sky, waking up to "Moscow-Paris" the aptly named cold front du jour. -13 degrees C wind chill right now, or 8.6 F. Our usually warm Korsika island is in the grips of a huge snowstorm.
Photo taken from my (open) kitchen window.

So many names!!!
Here, we call them knack. Further down in France, they are called Strasbourg sausages. Elsewhere, they are franks, frankfurters, in Germany, they are called Wiener, viennese sausages. Very international things! How do you call them?
History tells us they were first invented in Strasbourg, some 500 years ago. Best with mustard, or with sauerkraut!

Disappearing act
The unedited view from my kitchen window, 5 minutes ago. The outside world is disappearing. Might be a good thing, but certainly not for anyone out here, as it just well freezing. Dangerous night.

Monthly CDP theme day: transition
Found some time for this, still a few days left before my course starts...
Transition, from Aldous Huxley's utopian brave new world to Orwell's 1984... The yearly christmas market is on, attracting hundreds of thousands visitors. So, the city center is barricaded, for fear of bad guys. Bridges blocked as on the photo, cops everywhere, controls... Christmas time in fortress Strasbourg.

Siberian day out!
I almost froze solid today. Being still used to more southern temperatures, minus 4 C, wind chill factor minus 11 C, despite of the sun,.. Very hard!
Anyway, I went to the lovely german city of Heidelberg, 140 km away. You get different kinds of mulled wines here, exactly what I needed!
