Strasbourg Cathedral,
bursts into color,
during Palm Sunday full moon.
Wisteria blooms,
all over the city,
while city squares erupt in color!
Strasbourg itself is full of color,
both in the buildings and the rivers.
Jim adds to the colorful variety,
while Strasbourgians bring the color indoors!
Cheers to you from the stunning old city of Strasbourg~
These are wonderful photos Cindy. π
You are a wonderful friend! β€
I would love to travel with you. You see things in a way no one else does. The photos are so stunning, especially the wisteria. I always think of Germany when I hear the name Strasbourg, but most of it is in France. π Guess that’s why I didn’t get to visit. Hope you are continuing to have wonderful travels.
Ah, you are very kind and your comment touches my heart. β€ I would love to travel with you too, and am glad we are doing so virtually. I constantly mix up Strasbourg with Germany, it was German at various times in history, so the confusion is understandable. I am enjoying all the Easter celebrations in France right now, but will be in Germany for Easter.
That is where I began. Up north by Dillenburg in the area of Cologne. Grandparents are at rest south in Friedrichshafen, on Lake Constance. I hope you have a wonderfilled Easter!!
Gorgeous photos! I hope to make it to Strasbourg some day.
I hope you do too. It took me this long to do so, but it is nice to see the world always has more beauty to astound us with~
What a feast for the senses!! Gorgeous shots once again, Cindy. I do love traveling and seeing the world through your lenses!!
I love traveling with you Debbie. We always agree on what to see! π Seriously, it makes the experience richer when sharing it with wonderful friends like you!
So picturesque! The cathedral is stunning, Cindy. The city looks like a great place to wander with a camera!
It is like photo-op overload and presents a clear unfair visual advantage for photographers!
Beautifull Pictures
Merci beaucoup!
Beautiful place, thanks for sharing.
Very pleased you enjoyed!
Wow, this looks like a wonderful place to visit.
I highly recommend it! You will be amazed.
Oh so beautiful!! Such a long time since I’ve been- this post makes me want to go back!!
I can fully relate to your feeling!
π
incredible!!
Indeed! β€
Awesome impressions from Strasbourg, Cindy. The wisteria looks fabulous!
Wisteria is everywhere in France right now and I can’t get enough of it!
There is even a giant Sequoia growing in Riquewhir, planted in the the 1800’s and thriving. They only grow in California. I did a double take when I saw it!
Such incredible beauty, these photographs are stunning Cindy!
I am honored that you like them and thank you! β€
Your photography is second to none…a beauty journey each time I visit. β€
Love & gratitude to you~
Beeindruckend!! πΈππ₯
Vielen Dank und Jubel fΓΌr Sie!
Beautiful, Cindy. Makes me want to jump on an airplane and go there. Right now. βCurt
Well, you probably shouldn’t United…… ;(
Yeah, I think I’ll skip United. A boycott might be in order! βCurt
Of course Trump wants to further deregulate the airlines…….
Sorry for my late reply and like, I have been under the weather.
What a beautiful city, I have never been there. I love the first two pictures, they colors are almost surreal. I bet you guys were smiling all the time while walking through the city.
Sorry to hear you haven’t been feeling well and I hope you are recovering! The city is amazing, we are now traveling through the Alsace region and will be in Germany by Easter. Hugs to you my friend & hope you feel better! β€
Ich kenne Strassbourg gut, lebe ich doch nur 2 Autostunden von Strassbourg entfernt im Aargau Schweiz. Frohe Ostern, Cindy…
Sie sind glΓΌcklich, in einem so schΓΆnen Teil der Welt zu leben. FrΓΆhliche Ostern zu dir Ernst und danke fΓΌr deine Freundschaft ~
Wow, these photos are breathtaking, Cindy. The colour and the architecture, and the ones fof the rivers look almost unreal, they are so perfect! π
A shop full of Tiffany style lamps. So, how many did you want to bring home? π
Laughing. None. Can you believe it. I think I am a fully shopped out person. Except of course on the computer when I am home and bored……
The photos of the cathedral capture a wonderful mix of exuberance and subtlety in the colors.
Thank you. It is so incredibly beautiful, I wanted to do it justice.
I want to be there. Now! Beauty beautifully captured.
I love being here. There are amazing, ancient churches around every corner, so we go to church multiple times a day and love every minute. I happened on to Bach practice for an Easter concert yesterday. Sublime. I wish we had a tradition like this at home, these amazingly wonderful sanctuaries people can go to whenever they please…..
It looks stunning. I was last there in about 1965!
I can promise you the cathedral has not changed one bit! β€
My goodness — what a gorgeous post. And those wisteria blooms – wow.
The city is indescribable, so I will be posting more photos!
Just fantastic and majestic.
It takes your breath away in pure amazement!
Looks so beautiful
It is one of the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever seen~

Strasbourg rocks! β‘β§γ (ββοΌβ‘οΌβ)γβ§β‘
Excellent renditions. Although I think you’ve been out with your paint pot again. π
I have this shot of the whole cathedral with the full moon right next to the cathedral. It lit it up for Palm Sunday. It was hard not to include but I am constantly breaking my 8 photo rule. Happy Easter Graham~
Oh go one live a little. π
It’s just like the scale, one pound, then two, it starts to creep up on you……
I have a rule about eight doughnuts. No, sorry I meant ate. π
tee hee hee….our new hotel in Germany has a scale, tomorrow will be reckoning day after almost 10 days in France……
Avert your eyes. Remember kilograms are unamerican . π
Laughing…..My husband is googling low cal restaurant options for tomorrow as we speak……But we are in the land of schnitzel and potato pancakes! It’s gonna be veggies and power walking instead of Easter streudel for me!
Ar, thar be no good a coming from Lammas afore Lammas eve.
Laughing…..Happy Lammas Graham! π°π°
Same to you. π
After turning our discussion into spagetti, wp turns off the reply function. alas, me thinks wp thinks we talk too much….

Oh my! I’m in awe. Beautiful captures. β€
That is what the cathedral did to me too. Induced awe. It is SO tall. It looms up like some ancient skyscraper, making one marvel at how humans built this with scaffolding, over a period of 500 years. There was supposed to be a second tower. I think they got tired and decided to rest! Love to hear your thoughts Jackie. Thank you.
I’ve always been amazed by architecture that was build so many decades ago without the benefit of modern building tools. It just goes to show when we humans put our mind to something we can accomplish amazing things. π
We certainly are capable aren’t we……
Indeed! All we have to do to accomplish any task is have faith in ourselves.
True and there are so many good people in this world, like you my friend. Happy Easter! β€
And like you! Thank you – I hope you and your family have a beautiful easter. β€
π°π°π°
this lovely Cindy…:-)
It is truly an amazing sight, so pleased you enjoyed!
exquisite!!!
It is truly remarkable. Happy Easter~
Wow. What an amazing place. That wisteria. It stops the heart, it’s so beautiful.
Strasbourg is an exceptionally beautiful city. Cheers to you Brenda from Germany~ β€
π Cheers from my kitchen where the roast potatoes will soon be browning! π
I can smell them from here where it is snowing!
Mmm, stop by anytime.
You and I never know when I might!!! π
I you do come to VT, you should stop by and see me. XOXO
OMG, that lamp shop is to die for. Stunning! :O)
There were two Tiffany shops next door to each other and I took photos of both. The double impact was amazing! It was very hard for me not to include the second photo but I have a personal rule not to include too many photos in a post~
Well I’m glad you included this one, Cindy. God I’m sucker for shops like this, so much so that my wife has to hitch me to the car bumper to drag me out. π
Really! How wonderful! I am pretty much shopped out, unless of course I am home and bored and on my computer, in which case there is potential danger~
LOL! I know what you mean. My wife would be afraid to leave me alone on such a computer site if i had my credit cards nearby. One of my brothers has a similar problem with collecting clocks. π
Ohhh, I would love to photograph your brother’s clocks!
He has a whole room devoted to them. My favorite one is this rock clock with these two stones on a rope attached to a gear. As one drops to the bottom you pull down the other stone which continues to rotate the hands on the face. I’m not sure how many hours it takes for each stone to drop to the bottom, but it’s a fascinating idea that someone had when they developed this clock for telling time. :O)
I do not like WP changing conversations into spagetti lines! I want to see that clock!!!
What an enjoyable walk of Strasbourg! The city is so beautiful and colorful via your lens. Wisteria blooms are just unreal… Thank you for keeping posting while you are traveling, Cindy! π
Thank you more for traveling with me Amy! We have covered a chunk of the world together, with your travels and mine combined! β€
My Mum has two tall lamps like those in the last photo I’ve never seen them anywhere else. I love these old buildings I sometimes walk to Liberty in London just to admire the lovely area and building.
Your mum must have good taste! The intricacy of the lamp shop seemed to perfectly fit the details of the architecture. I can well understand why you would go to Liberty to soak up the gestalt~ β€
Just gorgeous
Merci beaucoup mon ami~

We, too, are drawn to cathedrals wherever we travel. There’s not much like them being built today, so we have to appreciate what remains of the remarkable architecture and detail. We always ask ourselves, “How’d they do that?” Especially when we consider that they didn’t have the technology and machinery we have today!
Visiting ancient cathedrals becomes addictive, not just for the beauty which you mention, but mostly for the sense of spiritual calm you absorb while in them. I am always amazed by these ‘people’s buildings’ built for everyone to come in and seek solace over the course of hundreds of years. On this trip we spent a fair amount of time in Greek Orthodox churches in Eastern Europe. I was beckoned in, given candles to light, welcomed in such a lovely way. It is a history, culture and tradition that seems so comforting. I understand completely why you are drawn to these amazing cathedrals.
I love that you were welcomed in. We’ve got to keep this inclusion of all humanity thing going! Thanks for sharing your experience with me.
I so agree with you~ β€
Glorious colors and inviting scenes. Wisteria is especially lush!
And growing everywhere which was lovely!
The wisteria flowers, the colors in all the photographs were so brilliant! The buildings and homes are so sweet. This was a lovely place to visit and share, too. π
It is a truly magical city Robin and I am am glad you resonate with it!
I try to stay connected with blogs which take me places like yours does, Cindy! You are gracious to share so many magical cities! π
