These photographs are a continuation of Wednesday's post of the village of Riquewihr, France, which is in the Alsace wine producing region - a place to put on your travel list when you visit France.
Main Street with the villages water source (years ago).

As usual these are wonderful Ted. The colors are so vibrant and yes the little alley ways are just begging for you to walk down them. Avery inviting place from the looks of it. Thank you for sharing another fine set of images.

And once again, Andrea, thank you for acknowledging my post. It is a place you will someday visit I'm sure.

I love your view of the world Ted. 1 and 3 are my faves for this set. In the first the water says 'Look at me' and in the third there is that pot of blue in the center that seems kind of lonely with all the other color going on.
You and your lovely wife may not indulge but the bible does say that you should "Take a little wine for thy stomachs sake." I don't think they were talking about the water. :)

Quaint streets aren't they, just waiting to be explored. They likely could use your trained eye to spot something like a 'lonely blue pot' - that's a great observation, Mike.
I'd sure hate to loose any more brain cells than are already dying off! Never had the desire to try it so it hasn't been a big deal for us. Pretty much quit soft drinks too, although I was never a real big one on them. As I get older, things that promote health are more important I guess. (I don't think 'they' were talking about water either).

Another beautiful set, Ted. Thank you for sharing them.
You are so welcome, John. I think of you often and what you have to cope with just to write posts, and they are all the more appreciated.
Have a restful evening,

They say red wine is good for a host of ails but really, it's not for everyone and I reaspect that.
Have you been following my Chichen Itza post. A.J. gets a kick out of our witty banter. Lord, I wish I was half as smart as people think. On the other hand, maybe most don't. :)

I just love how they have beautiful window boxes and tubs/ troughs and decorate their balconies with flowers. Excellent set Ted, beautiful colours and interesting streets. Enjoyed the street sign very much, what a jolly fellow! :thumbup: :thumbup: :D

Of all the country's I visited, I never touched foot in France. Too bad, too - I took French in High School and it's the only language with which I have a smattering of familiarity. That's OK, I got to use in Tunisia, and Rhodes (of all places). Thanks for showing me what I missed Ted.
For those of you who have never traveled abroad, rest easy - English is almost the universal language of tourism. Someone speaks it just about everywhere you go. Except in Tunisia - then you'd better speak French or Arabic.
