Spring in Hasenheide park

Wed, 14 May 2008 12:00:09 +0100

It looked like Hasenheide park was getting ready for spring. No cat. No dog. No jogger. No dealer. Everything was tidy, the benches, the trees. The grass was neat and groomed. Berlin

Underground Art

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 21:30:41 +0100

This is not modern art. U2, U5 or U8 are three underground lines passing through Alexanderplatz station in Berlin. What is modern art anyway ? Is modern art underground ? Is the underground modern ? What ?

Passeig Gracia is famous for its modernist buildings, La Pedrera and Casa Batlló by Anton Gaudi, Casa Amatller by Josep Puig i Cadafalch and others, but the avenue has more then that with buildings signed by lesser known architects but worth more then a look.

Bari Gotic

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 17:20:10 +0100

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 17:55:03 +0100

The underground line U7 crosses Berlin from Spandau to Rudow. From time to time, It's worth going out to look at the design of the stations. This is Bayerischer Platz.

La Rochelle's old harbour used to be protected by two big towers, tour de la Chaîne and tour Saint-Nicolas. It's a great feeling to sail in beetwen them after a rough cruise, because on the other side, your friends are waiting for you in nice bars and restaurants.
