Today the instagramable area of Strasbourg is Petite France. Its picturesque foot bridges, narrow alleyways, flowers hanging by the windows of its 16th-century-half-timbered houses, cozy restaurants, and cute views on the canals give it a very romantic atmosphere. But it has not always been like this! During the Middle Ages, many French soldiers suffered from the less than romantic syphilis that they brought back from the wars they fought during the Italian campaigns of the 15th century. They were sent out from most cities like Paris, and infected soldiers marched to the Hospice des Vérolés in Strasbourg, a hospital specially erected to treat them. This illness became known by the neighboring Germans as “the disease of the French”. The infected soldiers however were not allowed to stay in the city center of Strasbourg and many stayed in what is now known as Petite France. To picture the medieval Petite France, add to this the fact that it used to be the tanners’ district: the otherwise delicious smells were mixed with the stench of urine, used by the tanners to clean the animal skins in the leather making process. The noise was barely bearable between the sound of the carriages on the cobblestones and the constant running mills… try to picture this during your next visit and it will add and extra dimension!!

Those wings!! Hiking close to the Colorado River near Moab we spotted some massive vultures fighting. This photo requires a good look to figure out how these two rivals are entangled. Do you spot the red face of one of them?

“The road ahead is empty It's paved with miles of the unknown Whatever seems to be your destination Take life the way it comes Take life the way it is Horizon in the distance So close and yet so far away You shouldn't be surprised when on arrival The dream has flown away And fear is not here to stay The road ahead never gives away a promise The road ahead is a highway or a dead-end street A dead-end street” - City to City . . . #life #quotes #music #travel #usaroadtrip #nature #adventure #destinationunknown #sunsets #canyonlands #canyonlandsnationalpark #loneliness

We love sunsets! But what about the full moon setting here behind the mountains of Arches NP? We were beating the cold, waiting to photograph sunrise while the moon silently set behind the horizon. While it was cloudy in the East, and the sunrise turned out a huge disappointment we thoroughly enjoyed this scene on the opposite side 🤗 . . . #sunrise #moonlight #moon_of_the_day #fullmoon #archesnationalpark #archesnps #nature #naturelover #travel #roadtripusa #usa #travelblogger #landscapephotograpy #earthoffical #earthpics #goodmorning #peace #beauty #canon
