Planning my next trip

Winter sky

A weekend reflection

La Géode, the first ever french IMAX cinema. It opened around in Paris 1983 or 84 if I remember well (I was there at the inauguration).

Unknown

An unknown statue in St Pierre le Jeune church

Silbermann organ, again

The same organ I posted yesterday, from further afar, with added visitors.

The Silbermann organ, St Peter the Young church. Built in 1780, it is one of the best french organs, often used for recording JS Bach's organ works.

Pneumohumanoiden

A garden

The lock keeper's tower

Aka tour de l'éclusier, aka Heinrichsturm, aka tour Henri. One of five 13th century (AD 1230 to 1250) towers protecting Strasbourg. 4 towers remaining, the 5th burned down in 1869. A little more about them here.

Hang on there, little dudes!

A Monday Mural

Some passage way in Strasbourg.
More Monday Murals at Sami's.

Cold feet?

As I'm getting older, cold feet becomes a common occurrence. Specially when seeing the birdies... Wonder if they too have cold feet?
Anyway, we have a big swan colony on the canals and rivers in Strasbourg.

A weekend reflection

More weekend reflections here, as usual. Wishing you all a sunny weekend!

Holidays, anybody?

It's freezing cold here, day temperatures negative, despite of the sun. Traveling back in time and in space, Bassano del Grappa, northern Italy, June 2018, home of the grappa. Or to the early 80 es, in my case... Had a girlfriend there.

Tomate

We have hundreds, maybe thousands, of sausages in France. I haven't tried this one... Maybe a sausage for vegetarians, who knows

Cathedral area

TNS

A weekend refection

A quiet morning in Amsterdam. Need coffee!

Weekend in black and white

Photo taken a few hundert years ago. The clock is/was part of my secret time traveling device. Not a word to anyone, or I shall be obliged to meeting you tomorrow morning at 6 outside the city gate, for a pistol duel. You might want to bring a witness.
More recent b&w photos here.

I agree!

Do you? Not than you or me are in need of any other therapy, of course.

Tomi Ungerer

Ungerer was the best internationally known strasbourgeois artist. This is in the garden of, you guessed it, the Tomi Ungerer museum. More about the museum here.

On the quai des Bateliers, near the cathedral, there is very old this house, with an unusual decoration. I was unable to find any info about it, but it reminds me of the indianos in Barcelona...

Leave me alone!

Or feed me, slave!

Sun and stripes

A glorious morning

Weekend reflection

Weekend in black and white

Probably the most famous tree in town! Le platane de la Petite France, a plane tree in it's prime, only 352 years old. A good place to have a drink. During summer, that is, not now, unless of course you are wearing a heated diving suit.

Friends of b&w, you might have a look at an earlier post, right here

Already totally fed up with the grey and cold weather. Old photo, from much warmer and sunnier times
