Cadbury cocoa

Seen in Valetta, Malta, a few years ago. Malta is a photographer's dream!
 

Guess where?

I give you a clue: this is not Strasbourg, even though we have a few rivers and canals, a lot of boats...
 

A weekend reflection

Wonderful Padova, Italy. More weekend reflection here.
 

Maremagnum, the great sea

Old photo, from my years in Barcelona. Maremagnum is a big shopping mall with cinema on an island in the Port Vell, Barcelona's old port.

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
 

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!
 

Un mural de dilluns

A crazy catalan mural, seen in Barcelona aeons ago. As usual, more Monday Murals here. Enjoy!
 

Sur les quais de Paris

Along the Seine river in Paris. Where I did some guiding/sightseeing this week

Pizzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Do you ever have a craving for an authentic Italian wood-oven pizza, with a little musica, a few canzone to go with? Well, I do, now. The nearest Italian pizzeria being some 400 km away, here is some musica, from Genova, city infamous from it's crumbling bridge.

The Dom

This the protestant cathedral in Berlin, just next to the world famous Pergamon museum, on the Museum Island, on a glorious but freezing day The entrance will set you back 7 euros...
More about it here, in English.

The Sea of Straw

Mar de Palha. Well, kind of. Not actually a sea, more a large bay, where the Tejo river, aka Tagus, flows in the Atlantic Ocean, in Lisbon, Portugal. The name comes from the color of the water at sundown. In the back, the 23 km long Vasco de Gama bridge.

Glendalough

A wonderfully misty and frosty afternoon near Glendalough, Wiklow mountains, Ireland. Eire. This weekend, Ireland (the republic) elects its next president. And also, they will have to decide if blasphemy is still a crime in Ireland...
More weekend in b&w here.

Éirinn go Brách!

Smoking hot!

Yesterday, I went to the mid-sized town of Offenburg, 25 km away, in Germany. They had a "hamburger fish market". The hamburgers were citizens of Hamburg, far up north, no meat anywhere around... lol
Smoked mackerel and potato salad... Heavenly.

Chiesa di San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore

While strolling aimlessly through the streets of Milan, I came upon this absolute gem. I'll show you more...later

Aliens...

Already 20 years since they landed, and still no sign of fantastic artifacts... Didn't they come to save the world from the human infection???
More b&w here.

Have a seat...

...and watch people go by, at the Vasco de Gama shopping center in Lisbon, Portugal.

Out and about, and on a walkabout

Well, this is not Strasbourg...I needed a break, after this dreary winter. A beach break. A portuguese beach break. So, here I am in Olhao, Algarve, southern Portugal, just above Africa, yet another of my old homes. Seville is nearby as well. More about my portuguese adventures tomorrow, when I go (re)discover the Ria Formosa

Blue A'dam

Little "painting" I did in Amsterdam, a few weeks ago

A clover, a bee and revery

Seen on a house in Amsterdam last monday. Love it.

Bastille (by) day

From a recent trip to Paris
