I'm leaving on a jet plane...

Tomorrow morning, no ungodly hours for once. Without a computer, with very limited internet (roaming is extremely expensive in the Western Balkans). Holidays!!!

 See ya at the end of next week! 

 

Coffee and flowers

What's not to like!
 

???

Ha ha, I have no idea what this... clown was doing.

 

A weekend reflection

More weekend reflections here. Have a nice weekend!
 

Waiting for the rain

Still waiting...More b&w for the weekend right... here.

I'll be away for a while, in the Balkans, going down memory lane, Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia, with a quick coffee in Greece. Greek coffee of course! Without computer. So, no black and white weekend next week for me. See ya in 2 weeks, I hope!
 

Lunch time

Otterly delicious!
 

Around the world in...

... minutes with the Jules Verne merry go round.
 

Looks like winter...

Well, it ain't. It's summer, but most leaves have fallen off, due to 4 heatwaves, and the worst drought in centuries.
 

Mural in the making

Seen in Barcelona a few years ago, during a festival. More Monday Murals right...here.
 

Elegant people...

... having drinks at the civic museum in Bassana del Grappa, near Venice. While kids have kid fun.
 

A weekend reflection

Wishing you all a nice weekend! More reflections here.
 

Great news!

It finally rains a little. Not enough by far, but it is so nice, after long dry months.

As usual, more b&w here.
 

A new trend?

Amongst the weird things one can see or hear in our local bus or tramway...
 

Neustadt

The Neustadt (German for new town) is a UNESCO World Heritage site, built by Germans late 19th, early 20th century. A mixture of various architectural styles. More info here.
 

19 doors

19, the number of doors at the protestant St Paul church. Why 19? The church was built between 1892 and 1897, during German occupation. A door for each of the German army ranks, plus one for the emperor. Don't use the wrong one!
 

Bharat zindabad!

75 years Indian  independence today. Thanks to this man, the venerable (=Mahatma) Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. This bronze statue by Fredda Brilliant is in Tavistock Square, London.
 

Music!

At the cathedral
 

3 days!

We're having a 3 days weekend, as catholic France celebrates the assumption of Mary next Monday. Many strasbourgeois will head to nearby protestant German state of Baden-Wuertemberg (just over the Rhine bridge). Shopping!
 

Weekend reflection in black and white

Reflecting the central library on the Austerlitz dock in Strasbourg.

More b&w for the weekend right HERE, and more reflections THERE.
 

A favorite spot

Well ok, the main purpose of any bridge is to allow passage over  a place. Not this one. This bridge's main purpose is to serve as a tourist/photographer's highlight. One of the best places to view the Petite France area.
