267. Christmas lights on the town-hall of Bachant.

In December the Christmas lights are burning overall in the country. There are not only the lights which are put by the township like street lights or lights on official buidings and churches, but since a few years private houses are showing also many light shows. Here is one on an official building, on my blog, the town-hall of Bachant, a place where I first stopped my car this year 2006 to make some Christmas-light photographs, so are my first Christmas stars of the year twinkling on this blog.

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.

30. The overfloading

Like I say it, we had at the beginning of the week a little overfload. This photo is taken in direction of the neighbour village Bachant, which is on the other side of the river Sambre. The overfload come from the river, but no house was undeer water. You can see also a hedge made of crossed trees and branches like we can see many in the country side.
