Deudeuche!
A shiny oldtimer! The 2cv, (deux chvaus, 2 horses, aka deudeuche) the quintessential french car, rarely to be seen nowadays. They were built from 1948 till 1990. Want one? They can cost over 12000 euros.

The door to...
... well-being. Technical door to one of the thermal springs in the neighbor town of Baden-Baden, 40 km away in Germany. One of the springs of my favorite spa, the Friedrichsbad

Budapest, with Jethro Tull
Let's go away for a day... I discovered Budapest last summer, and I love the place (and the local prices).
The parliament, office of the troublesome Mr Orban.
My photo, but obviously not my video!

A weekend reflection painting of sorts
A little digital painting today, trying to render the impression of snowfall. Well, kind off.
The Petite France area, of course, such a good photo spot!

Aubette on ice
This is the Aubette on place Kleber, the city's main square. An old garrison building from the mid 18th century. Nowadays, a shopping mall where you can have an Californian apple and Seattle coffee, among other things, with a concert hall. Oh: and the international bookshop, important!!!
This winter, there is also an ice rink in front. And a very convenient meeting point!

Bye bye
No worries, it's not me, but the tree saying bye bye. It's been taken down as I write this. So, Christmas is definitely over.
It is snowing... Too late for a white Christmas.

Petite France
After the catastrophic holiday season we've had, terrorist attack, yellow jackets, the city council apparently decided to leave the Christmas lights on a while longer.

Weekend in black and white
I spent the day for the first time ever in Baden-Baden, a small and lovely spa town in the Black Forest, 40 km from here. In Germany. By browsing the net, I discovered that the town an important russian population in the 19th century. People like Gogol, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Goncharov, many Romanovs stayed there... They all wanted to the local casino. There is even a russian orthodox church.
Anyway, more b&w here, as usual

The white Black Forest
The Schwarzwald range, seen from my balcony. Complete with the huge television antenna on top of the Feldberg, some 85 km, 50 miles away. I can only see only see that far by very clear weather.
It's getting colder, but no immense snowfalls like the ones causing chaos further east in Germany and Austria.
