About 170
About 170 bridges over rivers and canals in Strasbourg. Small number compared to the 438 Venice bridges, but hey, they have more canals than we do!

Waiting for tourists
The boarding places for the sightseeing boats going around the canals. The tourists are coming back, fortunately, after 2... strange years.

A lamp?
OK, quite frankly, I don't remember taking this photo. I haven't been back to Venice since the start of Covid, and I usually hundreds of photos every time I go there, which is 3-4 times a year. Anyway, suppose it is a quite intricate lamp. What do you think

Blooming magnolia
Whenever I see magnolias, I know: spring has arrived!
Free earworm!

A Monday Mural
Weird beastie...Is it eating the tree, or does the tree come out of it??? Or trying to grow a lemon tree in a ...is it a fish??? This reminds me of a famous Hieronymus Bosch painting.
The text above, le sans pépins, means the seedless one. With or without seeds, I like lemon juice on my fish. If it's a fish, of course...
Anyway, do you want to see more murals? Easy, just click here!

Weekend reflection in black and white
One more shot from a stroll in the Orangerie park, by almost summerly weather. Well, snow expected here tonight and tomorrow, the first, and hopefully last for this past winter.
More b&w here, as usual on Friday. And more reflection posts here.
It is the CDP theme day as well, about symmetry. Have a look!

Perched
Enjoying the sunshine. In France, according to tradition, babies are born in a cabbage. But here in Alsace, storks bring the new born babies, special delivery. How is it in your tradition?

It's an art!
The art of tossing pizza in the air, and not getting them on your head. Many years training, I suppose.

A sign of times
This is Isaak Iselin. Isaak was a 18th century swiss philosopher of history and politics. I really wonder what he would think of today's world...

Today, 2 years and 1 day after the first lockdown in France, end of the mask and covid pass mandate. You'll only need to wear masks in public transports, hospitals and retirement homes. For how long, as the incidence is rising?????????

Yo soy magia
Yo soy magia, I am magic. Might be the door of a spanish-speaking, flower loving magician, here in Strasbourg. Well, we are a very international town!

The raven's courtyard
Probably the most beautiful hotel in town, with prices starting at 242 euros/night. It's a renovated 16th century building in the city center, an inn since at least 1528 AD.

A Monday "mural"
Compared to other places, we don't have many murals in Strasbourg. But most mail boxes or electric boxes have been decorated. Many of them by local artist Jaek El Diablo.
Many more real murals here.

A few years ago, a group of locals decorated a pedestrian street in the city center, the aptly named "children's play street", rue du jeu des enfants. The whole streets, walls, they painted even the pavement. Good job!
More b&w here, for your weekend.

Vicus caecorum
Vicus caecorum in 1252, or blind street now. Rue des aveugles in French, Blindegässel in Alsatian (no, not German...) It describes my life pretty well. I have a bad case of cataract, waiting for an operation. The world is hazy. Oh well, I still can see enough to post, read, cook... Everything will be much clearer and brighter after the painless operation. Can't wait!

Open!
Good news! Since yesterday, you can have a drink on a terrace, without a mask, and without having to show a Covid pass! I think I'll have a coffee!
