The hidden bookshop
A few meters from the cathedral, away from the tourist hordes... A bookshop, hidden in one of the many inner courtyards in town. Selling rare books.

Calm before the storm
Summer in the city. Wish I could join them, but I was in a hurry.
Violent thunderstorms predicted for later today. We'll see.

La sonnette
I am among the first occupants of a brand new building. Which has many perks: clean, sunny, airy, everything works, etc. But I would gladly swap for a flat in the building which has this doorbell!

Beauty and the beasts
An old photo, taken in Barcelona a few years ago, during Gay Pride.

Global warming
I love oleander!!! One of the few flowers I can recognize and name. I've seen a awful lot of them in places like Greece, Lebanon, Turkey, Israel, places where I feel at home. Imagine my surprise this spring when I noticed them in Strasbourg. They are not growing wild like in the south, but still: what does a middle eastern flower have to do here, so far north??? They are everywhere now. So, global warming deniers, how do you explain this???

A bridge to the Neustadt
Probably the nicest bridge in town! A bridge between the old town, aka the city center, aka la grande ile, big island, and the new town, German: Neustadt, the monumental area built by the German occupiers around the 1870es. Which passes as new hereabouts.

Into the green
What a nice, bucolic, romantic, warm, etc, day yesterday was, in the Petite France, along the river Ill!

TV? Internet? Chores?
Here is another idea for your Whitsunday. Being a danger for others and myself on a bicycle, I went for a walk.

Hidden
Hidden away in a leafy courtyard, behind a bookshop, in an over 2000 years old street... Mother Teresa, of Skopje, Macedonia, and of India. One of my personal heroes, since first I met her in the 80es, and a huge influence in my life. I was lucky enough to meet her several times, in India and elsewhere, Saint Teresa of Calcutta/Kolkata.

What time is it, Herr Doktor Einstein?
The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation. Michael Jackson

Caddie art
Part of the 20th anniversary of the modern art museum. I like it! You've seen caddies on the US, Dubai, in your favorite supermarket or airport, but what you might not know is that they made 30 km from here. They're used in over 130 countries.
