Avignon In Photos . . .

And while taking note of other worthwhile and well conceived blogs out there, I'd like to render homage to Nathalie's Avignon In Photos blog, which is full of fun and surprises ; as well as some great photos from Avignon, France. If you take a quick look at her blog you will see that for the first day of April, known in some places as April Fool's Day, Nathalie posted a splendid view of the new beach along the Rhone River in Avignon. What a project that must have been to haul all that sand in there. Just need some bathing beauties to spice it up a little now.
.
However, just one question for Nathalie : In this first photo below here (not a great photo, sorry!) you can see the view along the Pont d'Avignon to the far side of the river where the beach is now. . . so the question is, what on Earth did they do with all the trees that were there ? ? ? Couldn't they have left a few for shade ?!? :-) . . . and if you believe all that, well, how would you like to buy the bridge in Avignon ?
.
The following photos show the interesting view along the bridge in the other direction back to the Pope's Palace, and then two pieces of modern art that adorned the walls at the parking lot where we left our car just outside the Avignon city walls. . .
