Orangerie park

 

Via Praetoria

The street called Via Preatoria by romans over 2000 years ago, is now named rue des hallebardes, halberd street. Much later, 16th century, many weapon factory shops were located there. Weapons to fight the invaders, mainly French... 
 

Canals

My next palazzo... LOL, probably damp...

More b&w here.
 

Autumn in Paris

Old photo, taken before the fire.
 

On a hot summer day...

... last Saturday.
 

Printemps

A huge department store in the city centre called Printemps, springtime. The shop closed a few years ago, didn't survive covid. 2 or 3 months ago, one of the big metal claddings fell on the street, no one was injured, fortunately. Now, finally, they're putting nets, to protect people waiting for the tramway underneath...
 

Play with me, mum.

 

Down by the river

A few minutes away...
 

Crossing the bridge

Yet another hot summer day...in April.
 

Vittorio Emmanuelle 2

The Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle the second, former king of Italy, in Milan(o). I've been to Italy countless times, but only rarely to Milan(o).

More b&w here.
 

CDP theme day: very small

A sunflower on my balcony in Barcelona, ages ago. More 'very small' photos right...here.
 

Al fresco

Lunch on the water...
 

Summer???

Definitely feels like it, expecting up to 28 degrees C/82F the whole week. NICE!!!
 

Lunch break

It's getting warm, 25-27 degrees C this coming week. Summer in April?
 

Pink and blue

And a little yellow and brown, at the European Parliament 
 

A walk in the park

 

Storks a plenty

Many storks in our huge Orangerie Park, near the European Parliament. More b&w here.
 

The view

A popular place for photographers.
 

Pink

The Strasbourg cathedral was built out of pink sandstone from the mountain range nearby, the Vosges. Pollution blackened it, cleaning is been done for as long as I can remember. A Sisyphus kind of task...  
 

Second hand

Several stalls selling second hand books and some posters and knickknacks, 3 or 4 times a week on the main square.
