May 29: Avignon evening 2
I covered quite a bit more ground till it got quite dusky.
8318
To my surprise, I found the end of the world in a park at the edge of the city. Psych! It's just Les Halles.
8319
This was the first, and maybe still the only, such verdant multi-species green wall I'd seen.
8320
Across the Place Pie from Les Halles was this vivid window of the Conservatoire du Grand Avignon.
8322
It's made of thousands of these CD-like refracting planes. Swag!
8329
Then out to Rue Thiers, a primary street leading southeast to the edge of the old city; here, the street and the moon pointing toward the sunset.
8333
Quasi-modernist apartment buildings further out on Rue Thiers.
8337
Sunset skyfunnel.
8341
I reached the city walls, as see at left here, and walked clockwise along them to get back to the vicinity of the hotel.
8343
A wild section along Rue Ninon Vallin by Rue Tarasque.
8345
A selection of color temperatures.
8346
A useful map of Avignon, illuminated by headlights. I think this was at a point where I was outside the wall.
8348
Note the teensy bits of deep blue daylight thru the holes.
8351
Reentering the old city at Rue Saint-Michel under a grandly arched gate.
8353
Just before arriving back at the hotel, I happened upon this collection of stone pieces for renovation of the Église des Célestins.
8354
I always appreciate when narrow alleys and other such passages are brightly lit.
8360
Also brightly lit was the hotel's slightly less narrow street.
8362
Back in for the night, up the winding stair.
8363
A most pleasant of rooms.
8366
A selection of color temperatures flanking Pöllö.
8367
A bit of that bright street light getting through the curtain layers.
