PART I
Three minutes in the Place de la Republique...
When the sun shines in provence the streets come to life.
A gypsy on a park bench, playing his accordian,
Young people "hanging out" on bikes, skates and boards- gathered in groups- sitting on steps,
An ancient "Scottish highlander" lost in time.
The delicate carved stone of a romanesque cathedral facade,
The pleasures of art: recycled plastic phantoms, paintings of celestial light and stone men gazing at a cross, steel wool scouring pads stretched to the shapes of man clinging to each other and hanging from space.
This is just the begining of Arles, the land Van Gogh, bullfights and gypsys, Roman ruins and Romanesque monuments. Arles is a UNESCO World Heritage City. So much to see and so little time! On friday we will return to Arles and for part II ...
