The twist here is to give it a vintage look. I've seen these adverts all over Avignon's cafes. Worth noting, the compulsory warning at the bottom of the ad: "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pour votre santé, évitez de manger entre les repas&lt;/span&gt;" - for your health, avoid nibbling between meals. Then comes a link to the &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/http//:www.mangerbouger.fr/"&gt;www.mangerbouger.fr&lt;/a&gt; website, the national guide to healthy eating habits. The governement recently introduced a new tax on all soft drinks containing either added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Do you think it's a good idea? I do. I have no sympathy for junk food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se servir  d'une jolie blonde pour faire vendre, les recettes éculées du marketing ressortent avec ces pubs que j'ai vues partout dans les cafés d'Avignon - l'astuce est de les faire passer sous couvert du charme des annonces 'vintage'.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Ce qui mérite d'être remarqué, c'est la mention obligatoire "Pour votre santé, évitez de grignoter entre les repas" et le lien vers le site &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://www.mangerbouger.fr/"&gt;www.mangerbouger.fr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; le guide national des bonnes habitudes alimentaires.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Lors du dernier vote budgétaire le gouvernement à décidé d'introduire en 2012 une &lt;a style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" href="http://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2011/12/28/la-taxe-sur-les-sodas-validee-par-le-conseil-constitutionnel_1623454_3234.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;nouvelle taxe sur les sodas,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; qu'ils contiennent des sucres ajoutés ou des édulcorants.

This is a collage of two photos, under and above the horizon. Both were taken within minutes of each other along the beach at Palavas near Montpellier, a 90-mn drive from Avignon. The wind was blowing strong and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitesurfing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;kitesurfers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; regularly made spectacular jumps, but above the sea of course, not above the sand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Allez j'avoue, ceci est un montage de deux photos, au-dessus et en-dessous de l'horizon. Les deux images ont été prises à quelques minutes d'intervalle sur la plage de Palavas près de Montpellier, à environ 1h30 de route d'Avignon.

I found in a narrow back lane a caption you might have read before : "what matters isn't the fall but the landing", certainly a reference to the movie  &lt;a style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Haine"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;La Haine (Hate or hatred)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Mathieu Kassovitz (1995) where the main characters often repeat  the same joke about a man who falls from the 50th floor and keeps saying to himself 'so far so good, so far so good' - but what matters of course is the moment you land... Indeed the movie ends tragically. And right across from the caption is a life-size image of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pied_Piper_of_Hamelin"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pied Piper of Hamelin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with rats gathering around him (the fun bit is you can see more rats further up the street, all heading in his direction).&lt;br /&gt;Now what's the connection between both works? The anticipation of a tragic ending I presume? I'll leave the answer to your sagacious minds...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Suite du billet d'hier - quoi de neuf encore en matière de street art ? J'ai trouvé dans une ruelle étroite cette phrase : "l'important c'est pas la chute c'est l'atterrissage", que vous connaissez peut-être du film &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 0);" href="http://lahainelefilm.unblog.fr/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;La Haine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;. Les héros y répètent souvent l'histoire du type qui tombe du cinquantième étage et qui se répète "jusqu'ici tout va bien, jusqu'ici tout va bien". Mais l'important ce n'est pas la chute, c'est l'atterrissage... Et en effet, le film se termine tragiquement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Juste en face dans la même ruelle on trouve un &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Joueur_de_fl%C3%BBte_de_Hamelin"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;joueur de flûte de Hamelin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; entouré de ses rats. Ce qu'il y a d'amusant c'est qu'on voit quelques rats épars assez loin dans la rue, tous se dirigeant vers lui. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Maintenant quelle connection faire entre ces deux dessins ? L'anticipation d'une fin tragique ?

To make my own photo a little bit different I stepped down onto a rock below. Do you find this scary?&lt;br /&gt;This rock is very conspicuous when seen from the village. Locals who get fed up with tourists photographing their homes call this place "monkey rock". Who's  who in this zoo then?&lt;br /&gt;(to see this view under snow in January 2010, &lt;a href="http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/2010/01/neige-gordes.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;click here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

Pour faire une photo différente, je suis descendue sur un rocher en contre-bas ; avez-vous le vertige ?&lt;br /&gt;Ce rocher se voit très bien depuis le village. Les gens du coin  fatigués de voir leurs maisons photographiées toute la journée l'appellent le Rocher Aux Singes. Alors qui est qui dans ce zoo ?&lt;br /&gt;(pour voir cette vue sous la neige en janvier 2010, &lt;a href="http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/2010/01/neige-gordes.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cliquez ici&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

My mum and I found this crisscross of lines pretty spectacular but I had no particular intention of posting the photo (this isn't Avignon) until I discovered that my good old friend &lt;a href="http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/2010/04/paris-photography.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Peter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; had posted an amazingly similar image on his blog, see &lt;a href="http://peter-pho2.blogspot.com/2012/01/clouds.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;his post here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. I checked with him, he confirmed the photo was taken on 27th December. Isn't it an incredible coincidence that he and I photographed the sky at the same time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://peter-pho2.blogspot.com/2012/01/clouds.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Peter's Paris&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is a great blog where &lt;a href="http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/2010/04/paris-photography.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Peter Olson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a retired Swede, takes us on insider's visits of the city of lights. From architecture to street art and from discrete back alleys to cemetaries, Peter has a knack for delivering little-known information in a fun and attractive way supported by a wealth of images. If you love Paris there's no doubt you'll become a &lt;a href="http://peter-pho2.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Peter's Paris&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; fan.

Elle et moi avions trouvé ce chassé-croisé de lignes aériennes assez spectaculaire mais je n'avais pas particulièrement l'intention de publier cette image (ce n'est pas Avignon) jusqu'à ce que je découvre hier que mon ami &lt;a href="http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/2010/04/paris-photography.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Peter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; de Paris avait posté une image quasi-identique sur son blog, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://peter-pho2.blogspot.com/2012/01/clouds.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;voir ici&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;. Renseignements pris, c'était bien le même jour. N'est-ce pas incroyable que nous ayions tous les deux photographié le ciel en même temps ? Les grands esprits se rencontrent... Si vous ne connaissez pas &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" href="http://peter-pho2.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Peter's Paris&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;, ce blog anglophone est une mine pour découvrir Paris sous toutes les coutures depuis les allées discrètes jusqu'au street art en passant par les cimetières. A suivre sans modération.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MLYZc-eCNMA/TwHdfFiw8QI/AAAAAAAACdo/qok06vNl26Q/s1600/noel2011%2B315bsmall.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MLYZc-eCNMA/TwHdfFiw8QI/AAAAAAAACdo/qok06vNl26Q/s640/noel2011%2B315bsmall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693074930106691842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Amazingly, these two images of fog were taken on the same day, respectively one hour before and one hour after the top one, outside the same village. Fog came and went in patches all morning on that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Curieusement, ces deux images de brouillard ont été prises le même jour, respectivement une heure avant et une heure après celle du haut, à la sortie du même village.

bloggers on this first day of 2012.

J'ai sélectionné celle-ci, "Catholique quittant l'église", pour sa composition et la saisie de l'instant : pour moi c'est le bras et l'ombre du passant hors champ qui font vraiment cette image.

I know how lucky I am to have a loving family and I'd like to share this joy with you. Over this holiday period my thoughts go to all of you out there, known and unknown, regular commentators or discreet visitors who hop in and out of this blog without leaving any other trace than a number on the stat counter. Thanks to all for your continued visits and support. I created this card by fiddling with a photo of pine tree branches that I posted &lt;a href="http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/2011/11/plains-vineyards.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;here (fourth photo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/2011/11/plains-vineyards.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. I hope you enjoy it. There will be no post on Christmas day - see you again on boxing day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Je vais fêter Noël chez ma maman en compagnie d'une grande et belle famille.

It should have been installed a week ago but was delayed by delivery problems. It isn't ice at all but teflon, so it requires no refrigeration or maintenance. In the background (and in focus) you can see the covered market's green wall, a huge vertical expanse of vegetation (of which I showed a &lt;a href="http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/2011/12/night-show.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;night view here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;).  Behind it are four levels of parking space.&lt;br /&gt;It's only the second year Avignon has an ice rink for Christmas. You can tell that the kids in the region aren't used to skating because they were falling by the truckloads! Entry including skate rental is 5 euros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DJhsVfju9D4/TvJxbhD7ipI/AAAAAAAACYo/gKCVL55J174/s1600/patin3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DJhsVfju9D4/TvJxbhD7ipI/AAAAAAAACYo/gKCVL55J174/s640/patin3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688733996867619474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Depuis lundi Avignon a sa patinoire pour les vacances. Elle aurait dû être installée la semaine dernière mais son arrivée a été retardée par des problèmes de transport. Ce n'est pas de la glace mais du teflon - pas besoin de réfrigération ni d'entretien de surface. En arrière-plan, le mur de verdure des halles dont j'avais montré une &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/2011/12/night-show.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;vue nocturne ici&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;C'est seulement la deuxième année qu'Avignon a une patinoire et c'est une animation appréciée mais il est clair que les enfants ne sont pas habitués à patiner, ils tombent comme des mouches !

Out of the dozen or so candidates the majority as expected were elderly men with  either natural or fake beards. The rest ranged from young ladies in sexy Santa outfits to children of various ages - the youngest being a very cute baby held by her mother. No young man or elderly lady in the competition, no really creative costume either. The most provocative was a dark-haired Santa smoking a big cigar like a tycoon. So, who won the trip to Lapland? I have no idea, I left before the end. You'll have to decide ! I have a soft spot for the pretty photographer...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vIvvYD2Tjsc/TvJcqj99VGI/AAAAAAAACXs/WmYhMknZ2to/s1600/casting2small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vIvvYD2Tjsc/TvJcqj99VGI/AAAAAAAACXs/WmYhMknZ2to/s640/casting2small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688711165601731682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Quelques images du Casting de pères noël qui s'est déroulé après-midi sur la place Pie hier.

They will be collected before dawn the next morning. While the city council supplies free rubbish bags (black for ordinary stuff, transparent for recyclables), some people don't bother and use any leftover bags they can lay their hands on to dispose of their trash, even ones that don't close properly. They don't wait till after 7:00 pm either - this bag was already there at 4:00 pm last week. Stupid but stylish - good for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;A partir de 19h les gens ont le droit de laisser leurs poubelles à leur porte ; elles seront ramassées le lendemain matin avant l'aube.

J'adore leurs fleurs en forme de clochette qui ressemblent au muguet et leurs fruits dont le goût subtil et acidulé compense une texture un peu farineuse.

I love their bell shaped flowers which resemble lily of the valley and their fruit whose delicate and tangy taste compensate a somewhat floury texture. The fruit (which aren't real strawberries, you would have gathered that) are called arbouses in French (pronouce&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; arbooze&lt;/span&gt;). They ripen in October and November.

Does engaging mind and body in perfect relaxation on a beach qualify as action? I personally think  it suits our Mediterranean rhythm very well!  Remembering warmer days, this photo was taken back in August on the island of Porquerolles, a two and a half hour drive and thirty minute ferry ride from Avignon.

In the plains of Villeneuve lès Avignon some 4 kilometres out of town, I found an old stone shed hosting a portrait of Bonnie Parker (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_and_Clyde"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Clyde Barrow's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_and_Clyde"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;partner in crime&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 1934) as well as other works on two other walls. Just a little further, another roofless 'cabanon' hosts two more : a  gramophone and a starlett (perhaps Marilyn Monroe?). All works are signed &lt;a href="http://www.arkane-art.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Arkane. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Was the artist running out of city wall space? Does he have an arrangement with the farmer? I have no idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Est-ce que de plus en plus l'art des rues s'exporte à la campagne ? Dans la plaine de l'abbaye à Villeneuve lès Avignon j'ai trouvé un cabanon habité par Bonnie Parker, la célèbre héroïne de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-style: italic;" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_et_Clyde"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bonnie &amp;amp; Clyde&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;, 1934. D'autres figures Sur un autre cabanon sans toit un peu plus loin, c'est un gramophone et une starlette qui se partagent les murs. Toutes ces oeuvres sont d'&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.arkane-art.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Arkane&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. L'artiste était-il à court d'espace mural en ville ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt; A-t-il trouvé un arrangement avec le propriétaire des lieux ?

The large letters read &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Comptabilité - bureau au 2ème&lt;/span&gt;, which translates as 'Accounting, office on the second floor'. but if you look closely (and I've left the photo in heavy format so you can enlarge it if you click on it) there was a smaller lettering over which the large COMPTABILITE word was painted. If I read correctly it says '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Detaxe de lettres de voitures&lt;/span&gt;' which means 'waybill tax removal'. I can't think of what taxes this refers to. On the line below are the words '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Comptabilité La Simplex&lt;/span&gt;', which is an oxymoron: who would rate accounting as simple?&lt;br /&gt;In large letters further down is a more common message : &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Défense d'afficher&lt;/span&gt; (no bill posting).&lt;br /&gt;I wonder how old all this lettering is?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Ce qui m'intéressait ici, à part &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;l'architecture&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt; et &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;l'aspect graphique des ombres, ce sont les lettres peintes sur le mur au-dessus du promeneur : s'il est facile de lire "Comptabilité - bureau au 2ème", une observation plus fine (et j'ai laissé la photo en format lourd pour que vous puissiez cliquer pour l'agrandir) permet de lire également les lettres plus petites recouvertes par le mot Comptabilité. Si je ne me trompe, on lit 'détaxe de lettres de voiture'. Lettres de voiture ? Je croyais ce terme désuet mais selon le Code de commerce il désigne encore aujourd'hui le contrat de transport de marchandises qui lie  l'expéditeur, le commissionnaire de transport et le transporteur dit  aussi "le voiturier". Mais de quelle taxes ou détaxe s'agit-il ? Mes érudits lecteurs peuvent-ils m'éclairer ? Je me demande aussi de quand datent ces inscriptions...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7578502161069698346-3106761278987971336?l=avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/feeds/3106761278987971336/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7578502161069698346&amp;postID=3106761278987971336&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7578502161069698346/posts/default/3106761278987971336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7578502161069698346/posts/default/3106761278987971336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/2011/11/comptabilite.html' title='Détaxe de lettres de voiture'/><author><name>Nathalie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02308523489103068439</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vxkM10Tci9w/TxZwnRAx0YI/AAAAAAAADGQ/jo6b_-1-32k/s220/natmolietsmallsquare.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9Zds08847A4/TslXfFoTZgI/AAAAAAAACFY/phqXk1z3ZO0/s72-c/comptabilite.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-1288394407463488718</id><published>2011-11-22T00:01:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-22T00:11:27.599+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='river'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trees'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rhone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='black and white'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Avignon'/><title type='text'>Extreme black &amp; white</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bords du Rhône, île Piot, Avignon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B-32qW5eIWc/Tsob5ARExxI/AAAAAAAACGI/jXQfp-zXr_A/s1600/platanebw1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B-32qW5eIWc/Tsob5ARExxI/AAAAAAAACGI/jXQfp-zXr_A/s640/platanebw1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677380946392041234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;Just downstream from Daladier bridge on Piot island are plane tree branches hanging over the water's edge.

The effect is exactly what I was after, somewhat similar to a pastel or watercolour painting with a soft blur.

Avec ses contenus éphémères qui apparaissent et disparaissent, ce mur se réinvente en permanence. Lieu humble et fragile, ce mur est plus qu'inhabituel, c'est un phénomène rare. A la fois poubelle et oeuvre  d'art, il porte de nombreuses valeurs symboliques :&lt;br /&gt;- il amuse : c'est un espace de jeu qui a une valeur ludique.&lt;br /&gt;- il est perçu comme de l'art populaire : c'est un espace de création qui a une valeur artistique.&lt;br /&gt;- il est une oeuvre commune : c'est un espace d'expression publique qui a une valeur civique.&lt;br /&gt;- il reçoit des objets jetables : c'est un espace de recyclage qui a une valeur écologique.&lt;br /&gt;- il reçoit des dons : c'est un espace de charité qui a une valeur sociale.&lt;br /&gt;- il reçoit des voeux : c'est un espace d'expression de foi qui a une valeur religieuse.&lt;br /&gt;Par tous ces aspects il émeut : il a une valeur poétique et sentimentale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mon confrère blogueur avignonnais &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" href="http://avignon.midiblogs.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Michel Benoit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; lui a consacré de &lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://avignon.midiblogs.com/tag/mur+des+offrandes"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;nombreux billets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; dans son blog ainsi qu'&lt;a href="http://www.univ-avignon.fr/fr/actualites/singleview/article/6/expo-mur-offrandes-sainte-anne.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;une  exposition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, actuellement à l'Université d'Avignon jusqu'au 30 novembre.

Since items come and go, the wall constantly reinvents itself, it is fascinating to follow.

Luckily the driver coming in the opposite direction had stopped, trying to evaluate the water's depth. How deep was it? Deep enough for the water to start seeping through the bus doors (not water-tight, I learned) as we drove through : A 4-gallon wave came flowing through the bus, causing quite a commotion among the passengers trying to lift their feet and luggage. When the bus later slowed down, the wave came sweeping back towards the front of the bus, causing more havoc among passengers. Honestly it was hilarious and I really should have switched my camera to film mode to record the scene! The station wasn't far, we got there on time and the TGV to Paris was on time too. I thanked our young driver for his determination and skill. He was ready to go back, I think he was enjoying himself tremendously. Most passengers were in good spirits too. I have to say that the fun had started even before we boarded the bus : since most of us had arrived at the bus shelter soaking wet from the torrential rains, we'd already had a good laugh comparing our dripping outfits! What else is there to do in such situations?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Vendredi dernier à 15h30 j'étais dans la navette qui conduit à la gare TGV. L'inondation de l'avenue de la gare n'a nullement arrêté le chauffeur : voyant qu'une voiture s'était arrêtée devant nous au milieu de l'eau, il a fait un écart et sans hésiter s'est lancé &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;sur la voie de gauche &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;à bonne vitesse  jusqu'à la fin de la partie inondée. Heureusement que personne n'arrivait en face,  les voitures arrivant en sens inverse s'étaient arrêtées pour évaluer la hauteur de l'eau. La profondeur était en effet impressionnante : passant sous les portes fermées du bus (dont j'ai découvert qu'elles ne sont pas étanches), une vague d'une vingtaine de litres d'eau s'est engouffrée à l'intérieur, causant un peu de commotion parmi les passagers essayant de lever les pieds et leurs valises. Quand le bus a freiné un peu plus loin, la vague est revenue vers l'avant, causant encore quelques émotions. Franchement, c'était hilarant et j'aurais dû mettre mon appareil photo en mode caméra pour filmer la scène !&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;La gare n'était pas bien loin, nous y sommes arrivés à l'heure et le TGV était également à l'heure. J'ai chaudement remercié notre jeune chauffeur pour ses talents. Il était prêt à repartir, je crois qu'il s'amusait énormément. La plupart des passagers ont également pris cette cocasse aventure avec beaucoup de bonne humeur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt; Il faut dire que le rire avait commencé avant même de monter dans le bus : la plupart d'entre nous étaient arrivés trempés à l'abribus et la comparaison de nos tenues dégoulinantes avait déjà déclenché l'hilarité.  Que faire d'autre dans des situations pareilles ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7578502161069698346-5134093142472002701?l=avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/feeds/5134093142472002701/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7578502161069698346&amp;postID=5134093142472002701&amp;isPopup=true' title='22 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7578502161069698346/posts/default/5134093142472002701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7578502161069698346/posts/default/5134093142472002701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/2011/11/flooded-avenue.html' title='Flooded avenue'/><author><name>Nathalie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02308523489103068439</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vxkM10Tci9w/TxZwnRAx0YI/AAAAAAAADGQ/jo6b_-1-32k/s220/natmolietsmallsquare.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7Q65nc39mlo/TrZ4LVUBWyI/AAAAAAAAB-4/DANfzZ9Zc3k/s72-c/IMG_0655.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>22</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-6663387276431417819</id><published>2011-11-08T00:01:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T00:01:02.406+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='streets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Avignon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='artistic blur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autumn'/><title type='text'>Wet, wet, wet</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Rue St Charles, Avignon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-23sB45nxNE8/TrZ4yp1kaTI/AAAAAAAAB_E/cYQQFE8AxKQ/s1600/IMG_0633.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671853592339048754" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-23sB45nxNE8/TrZ4yp1kaTI/AAAAAAAAB_E/cYQQFE8AxKQ/s640/IMG_0633.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last Friday 3:30pm, heavy rain. Flooded street seen through a dripping wet bus window.

The father comes out behind, kind to me but chastisising his son for leaving the door open : "The world needs not know what lies behind the facades of our houses, he says! There are ill intentioned people out there you know..." I thank him profusely for the two quick snapshots I was able to take and decide I will refrain from giving the exact address.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Un jeune garçon sort par une élégante porte cochère de la rue Joseph Vernet et la laisse entrouverte derrière lui, je me glisse à l'intérieur pour jeter un coup d'oeil : quelles merveilles, cette cour et cet escalier ! Le père apparait à son tour, gentil avec moi mais sévère pour son fils : "Cette porte doit rester fermée, le monde n'a pas besoin de savoir ce qui se cache derrière ces façades. Il y a des gens mal intentionnés, vous savez..." Je le remercie profusément de m'avoir laissé prendre ces deux clichés rapides.

9 October. On the Saturday, seven hundred people walked through the streets of Avignon all dressed up in medieval costumes. On the Sunday they ran a full medieval day including a chivalry tournament,  a medieval wedding with a large banquet,  archery, dances,  children's games as weel as workshops where people can practice leather work, medieval cuisine and medecine. I was impressed by the number of participants. I imagine they spend a large part of their free time working on their costumes and practising their roles,  trying to stay true to history. Is that a passion that you could share ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Retour sur la Fête de la Rose d'Or : le samedi 8 octobre, environ sept cent personnes en costume médiéval ont défilé dans les rues d'Avignon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;. Le lendemain ils ont animé une journée entière d'activités médiévales incluant un tournoi de chevalerie, un mariage médiéval, un grand banquet, des danses, de l'archerie, des jeux pour enfants ainsi que des ateliers de travail du cuir, de cuisine et de médecine médiévale. J'ai été impressionnée par le nombre de participants.

This dancing couple was really sweet... but see above, the lover was only a broomstick dressed in a white cloth - the dancing lady's lover is nothing but a dream. Duval's scenes and characters are always sweet, humorous and full of life. See her wonderful 'swimming lesson' and 'precious load' (cycling mum) below !

Inside the tank is a short red hose with water pouring out. As you've no doubt experienced yourself in your garden or bath tub, water pressure brings a hose to go wild. These random moves are what artist &lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://www.francisderussy.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Francis Derussy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; gives us to contemplate. My approach to this piece has been an advice often given to photographers: "when you think you're close enough, get closer". The result is above : art gives birth to more art.&lt;br /&gt;I'll show you another take on this piece in my next post. &lt;a href="http://www.parcoursdelart.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Parcours de l'Art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is on until 22 October with exhibitions in 24 locations around town. Access is free and a full brochure is available at the Tourist office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Le cube que vous voyez ici fait partie du &lt;a href="http://www.parcoursdelart.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Parcours de l'Art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, une exposition d'art contemporain qui se tient à Avignon tous les ans en octobre et que j'adore. A l'intérieur du cube, un bout de tuyau rouge d'où sort de l'eau. Si vous avez un jardin ou une baignoire vous avez sûrement fait l'expérience de ces tuyaux qui partent dans tous les sens quand on ouvre l'eau. Ce sont ces mouvements erratiques que l'artiste &lt;a href="http://www.francisderussy.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Francis Derussy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; nous donne à contempler. Mon approche ici a été un conseil que l'on donne souvent aux photographes : "quand vous croyez être assez près de votre sujet, rapprochez-vous encore". Le résultat est ci-dessus : l'art donne naissance à l'art...&lt;br /&gt;Je vous montrerai &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;une autre approche de cette installation &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;dans mon prochain billet. Le&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt; Parcours de l'Art&lt;/span&gt; c'est jusqu'au 22 octobre dans 24 lieux disséminés dans Avignon.
