Part of the crowd at Les Rencontres D'Arles. They must have biked in.

Arles

This was one of the "photography" exhibits at the Rencontres D'Arles 2016 that we attended this year with our two favorite Germans. I consisted of eight projected videos of bottles being kicked or rolling on brick or cement, accompanied by a very loud soundtrack of said bottles rolling. The sound filled the whole building, so that you heard it even when you were viewing one of the 8 or 10 other exhibits. I hope Lucien Clergue looked down approvingly. We didn't.

This is a Frank Gehry building up in Arles, that will house exhibition halls and offices. When finished, it will be sheathed in reflective metal a la the Disney Center. Fun to see the skeleton before it is clothed.

Tourists, Arles

These two looked to be deciding to either get their photographer partners moving or ditch them and run for the car.

Walkers, Arles

I got the impression that these were locals, out for a dog walk. Hard to be sure, as the French seem to bring their dogs everywhere.

They are so hard to resist.

Church spire, Arles

I have never seen a Virgin Mary with a lightning rod. Of all the people who don't need one, she should top the list!
