246. Every day road (2) : Through Sains du Nord.

Another part of my every day road is when I'm crossing the town of Sains-du-Nord. It from the sides of this roads that I have photographed for you already some beautiful landscapes. The track on the right is for parking the cars, so that It's easy to take photos at the sides of the road.

One more time the road is empty, because I'm always waiting that the road is empty to make a photo (if it is possible) so that you can see better the landscape. Here is the main road which makes the junction between the road coming to the East of France and from the Ardennes to the Avesnois, going from the department of Aisne near Fourmies to the town of Le Quesnoy. This road is crossing also the Avesnois from the East to the West. Like you can see the road is here very straight, so that the Gendarmerie is often at the edge of the road to look at the people who are driving faster than 50 km/hours. In towns the speed limit is on 50km/hours in France.

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.
