A merry-go-round for Herr Gutenberg.

Strasbourg - Alsace (France)

Gutenberg square, at night.
The lights of a merry-go-round…on the right, invisible, Herr Gutenberg looks maybe at that from the pedestal of his statue.
I like thinking that when he moved to Strasbourg and worked to develop his revolutionary printing press (yes, revolutionary, what is more revolutionary that making the diffusion of ideas easier?), he had to make a living, by selling wine.
Well Strasbourg was definitely the right place also for that….

A superb night scene, and a very nice "revolutionary" comment, Marisa. V
