Something blue...

I looked as the photos I made and found a photo that I made at the day just after I bought my new camera. It is a white-blue house in Avesnes-sur-Helpe that was just on my road at this day.

274. My every day road (5). Going though Avesnes-sur-Helpe

Driving though Avesnes-sur-Helpe, we are waiting, letting high school pupils of my ancient high-school (where I teached ten years long) going over ther road, coming from the railway station and going up to the school. The highway crossing here is the big Nationale Road 2 (N2) and have often much traffic. It goes through the town of Avesnes-sur-Helpe. You can see here also some beautiful rich houses of the beginning of the 20th century, as the industry avtivities were at their top in the region.

273. My every day road (4) - Landscape and tower

I am always happy to see the spectacle of the morning light between 8 and 9 when riding to school. I find this place between St Hilaire-sur-Helpe and Avesnes-sur-Helpe is very pretty with its old tower. So, I asked my husband who is sitting near me in the car every morning three times a week to take this photo instead of me because I cannot take a photo when driving. The photo was taken though the glasses of the car, so that there are come reflections on it.

259. Sign-boards near the cement bridge of Aulnoye-Aymeries

This picture shows to you the ways which you can take when going over the cement bridge of Aulnoye-Aymeries, where they are building a second bridge :

On the left you are riding to

- Avesnes-sur-Helpe,

- Landrecies,

- Leval,

- Maroilles,

- the tower of the Florentine in Aulnoye, an old tower which was in use for the railway.

On the right you are riding to

- Berlaimont,

- Le Quesnoy (1), (2),

- the midtown,

- the SNCF railway station,

- and the new college Del Marle which has replaced this one (we don't know if this building has also to desappear). I teached in the collège Picasso some of decades of years ago.

On the back (not on the picture) you are riding to Maubeuge and Bachant.

I published on this blog some photos of these towns.

245. Everyday road (1) : Through Avesnes-sur-Helpe.

My road goes every day through the town of Avesnes-sur-Helpe. I didn't publish photos of Avesnes-sur-Helpe until this day, although it is the capital town of the Avesnois and a town where I worked during 10 years at teacher in the main secundary school with also classes of superior teaching level. You can see here how the evening sky is getting rosa near the horizon. In a week or two at the same time (about 5 in the evening) it shall be dark. You can guess on the right side in the landscape the church tower of the old collegiale church of the 12th century.

Here at the side of one of the main roads (the road Nationale (national highway) 2 goes also through the town and cross with this one). The Nationale 2 is the old great road from Paris to Brussels. There are much trucks on it of all the countries of Europe, because the trucks have to pay a lot of money to ride on the motorways. On this picture you see nobody because I took it in the evening and I wait to do the photo, that there were no more trucks on it.
