Gandhiji

Mahatma Gandhi. My personal hero. The statue was a present from the Indian government to Strasbourg, in 2011. The artist is Ram Sutar, one of the foremost  Indian sculptors, also known for building the statue of unity in Gujarat, India.
Someone bring Gandhi some warmer clothes!!!

Blue

Blue sky, last summer. Well, it is winter now, we just had a first very fleeting glimpse of blue sky this yrar, all 5 minutes of it. Yeah!

A Monday Mural

Somewhere near the Marques de Pombal square in Lisbon, Portugal. Not a square square :-).I have no idea who they are.
More murals here this Monday
And don't miss last Monday's Elephant Woman mural!

Behind locked doors

Maybe someone's secret garden

K7

Things one can do with old audio tapes. Called cassettes in french, shortened to k7. Do you still have yours?

Palais des Rohan

The fountain next to the palace of the prince-bishops and cardinals of the Rohan family. A notable family from Brittany who at a time monopolized all the the secular and regular powers in town, with a whiff of game of thrones.
Well, I like this fountain. Can't say the same about the family.

City Daily Photo theme day: photo of the year

Well, the choice was fairly easy this year! It might not be my best, but it is definitely my favorite photo of the year, during the first of my trips to Portugal, in January 2018.

Weekend in black and white

A detail of the cathedral.
It's the weekend, the last this year, and it's black and white, like the weather here.

Just a detail...

Enter at your own risks

Inviting, isn't it? Well, it actually is, inviting you to visit the Tomi Ungerer museum

Joyeux Noel!

Above, it's Alsatian for merry Christmas and a happy new year. You probably guessed... :-)

Ho Ho Ho!

Guess who is coming tonight, on his fancy green ride? Well, did you behave this year, have you been a good girl/boy?
