Church between two willows

On this picture you can see in the right sad weather the church of Pont-sur-Sambre, and the town district of Quartes (a part of it) between two willows. You can find the same place at the beginning of the blog (February 2006 in the Archives). But it was a photo with leaves on the trees (an elder one). The photo is taken from behind the Cité Notre-Dame.

Floods of the Sambre in Pont-sur-Sambre

Just before the freezing time came, they were some floods of the river Sambre like here, behind the Cité Notre-Dame, in Pont-sur-Sambre. You can see how the meadows were getting some water. Behind on the left you can see also the blue bridge or Pont de Quartes, the one near the church. It was no great floods, this little floods arrived often in autumn and winter. In the nineties we had one time a flood during two weeks where all three bridges of Pont-sur-Sambre and the one between Aulnoye and Berlaimont was under water, so that we had to ride to Maubeuge to get a dry bridge. And make forty kilometers.
