A bridge to knowledge...

This bridge will lead you to knowledge ! Actually, it is the bridge called "pont de l'université" (bridge of university) which is near the university of Lyon (human sciences) that you can see at the left. Built in 1896 to make the way to university easier, I think that it gives us a good view of those old schools behind it, and the river looks like a dark sea of ice...

 

Urban life

Those cars on the road are like ghosts ! A line of speed an evidence of my urban life in summer...

 

Surprise

Kitty-chan in Lyon ! Seen in a department store for kids !

 

Rainbow

A perfect view after the rain, from the window of my appartment... This rainbow ! I have not not sent post for a long time because of a big bug in my computer... Sorry !

 

Moonlight

The moonlight of yesterday evening, from the window of my kitchen... I think I have to improve the way I take photos by night, but I like this shot...

 

Cool weather...

A view of our swimming-pool, near the Rhône... But it is too cold to swim !

 

Under the bridge - part 4

The last one... Over the river called the Saône.

 

Under the bridge - part 3

Today, a photo from the bridge of The "Justice House"... And Fourvière behind it !

 

Under the bridge - part 2

You waited for the next photo about "bridge by night" : a view of the old city (in the background, St Jean Church) and the bridge "Bonaparte" !

 

Under the bridge - part 1

Here begins a serie about... life under the bridge ! The first one is taken from St Georges, part of the old city. Clouds were so terrific, moving quickly thanks to a summer wind, that I can't help taking some photos of this aesthetic moment of loneliness.

 

Big car

Found in a street of Lyon : this enormous car... Useful ? Yes, maybe in the country but in a city... Just a source of pollution !

 

Library

A view by night of the new academic library of human sciences (Université Lyon-2)... Science is coloured !

 

Tramway... as promised !

Yesterday I spoke about a tramway station but I realized that you certainly never heard about the tramway of our city ! So I decide to correct this mistake by showing it to you. Put on rails recently (less than 5 years), the tramway is a very convenient way to circulate into Lyon. Fast and clean, it is more agreeable than the subway...

 

Station

"Centre Berthelot", a tramway station... in front of a school and its beautiful clock...

 

A strange bar...

Here is a bar called... the "blond hurricane"... Strange, isn't it ?

 

A boat...

An invitation to a trip on the road... The boat is called "The Blue Bird"...

 

My House

Let me introduce you my house !
Of course, this is a joke, it is just one of the several rooms that compose the museum of decorative arts and textile in Lyon. The visitor can also find a lot of tissues made of silk, one of the famous former industry of our city... Do you appreciate this "classical french living room" ?

 

Horse

Taken from the "Place Bellecour", the horse of King Louis the 14th...

 

Strange animals

A summer in Lyon can offer some surprise ! You can meet dromedaries... Taken with my photophone.

 

Fireworks !

Today is the French National Day (14-juillet) and there are many fireworks in several cities... I am sorry but this photo was taken from the window of my appartment and I thought that the result could have been better than this... Next time I will have to show you less laziness to go out !
