I want to ride my...

... ostrich! Mounted police?
 

Well, I guess autumn has finally started...

Yesterday was a rainy and stormy day.
 

A Maltese cat mural

Seen in Malta a few years ago. More Monday murals here.
 

Opéra National du Rhin

On top of the building, the muses, Euterpe, Clio, Thalia, Melpomene, Erato and Terpsichore. The opera was built in 1804, destroyed (war) in 1870 and rebuilt 3 years later. A glorious building. To be called a "national" opera is a consecration in France. Gonna watch Lakme, by Léo Delibes, can't wait!

Growing cats

Everything I try to grow, dies. Except cats. More b&w here.

I want to ride my bicycle

Strasbourg, bicycle capital of France. Almost as many bikes stolen then in Amsterdam, many to be found later in rivers and canals....
 

Notre Dame de Strasbourg

Our 1008 years old lady, last Saturday morning.
 

High up

Right here in the city center... Never seen it before. Oh well, I love pizza as much as the ninja turtles!

More Monday murals right...here.
 

UN peacekeepers?

Well, who knows... They're all wearing blue helmets. UNBF, United Nations  Bicycle Force??? Keeping the opera safe!
 

A weekend reflection

It is still very hot, over 30 degrees C, but autumn is closing in. More weekend reflections right... here.
 

Dreams

Not sure what the boots are for... Yesterday's and today's posts are about an exhibit at this year's Foire Européenne de Strasbourg, our yearly European fair. Author unknown.

 The same in b&w, for the weekend in black and white (oops, once again I forgot what day it is... The perks of being retired, lol)

Call me

 How many kids will know what this is and how to operate it?

Taste it before you buy it

Sausage galore. I've read somewhere that we have 2849 different sausages in France. 1520 in Germany. France: 1, Germany: 0! LOL. As I am half French, half German, that's a lot of sausages for me!!!
 

T'is the season!

Mushroom season!
 

Autumn

Fountain near one of the 3 universities in town.
 

The light at the end of the tunnel...

The massive entrance to the old citadel, part of the fortifications fighting off nasty Germans. Or French. Attila and his Huns came much earlier.  Now a beautiful park. Old photo, but I'll be there next Saturday, together with about 200 ONGs and charities. And food trucks!
