Rouen, au fil des jours...

Rêverie…

Dans le jardin du Musée de la Céramique, un banc de pierre qui invite à la rêverie…

Le Jardin du Musée de la Céramique

Le jardin du Musée de la Céramique, surélevé en terrasse. Le Musée de la Céramique abrite près de 6 000 pièces de faïence de Rouen des XVIème aux XVIIIème siècle et est installé depuis 1984 dans l'hôtel d'Hocqueville, un magnifique hôtel particulier bâti en 1657, à deux pas du Donjon, à un emplacement laissé vacant par la destruction du château de Philippe-Auguste qui était devenu la prison de Rouen. Au fond à gauche, la maison dite "du bourreau”.

Chérubin…

À nouveau dans le jardin du Musée de la Céramique… Une angélique fontaine…

Après la pluie…

La fin de l'été, dans le jardin du Musée de la Céramique…

Au Jardin Solférino…

Le Jardin Solférino, le long de la rue Jean Lecanuet,
anciennement rue Thiers.
Un oasis de verdure au cœur d'un centre ville pollué.

Petite, je venais jouer sous cet arbre qui me semblait immense,
et je regardais les oiseaux picorer autour des chaises et des bancs…
Le Jardin a changé…
Les poubelles vomissent leurs déchets…
Il n'y a plus de chaises, les canards ont disparu…
Les gardiens à képi aussi…
Désormais on marche et se vautre sur la pelouse en toute impunité…
Les personnes âgées ne sont plus de cette Terre…
Les enfants sont grands…
Rêvent-ils encore, passent-ils seulement encore par là ?

 

Cats among the pigeons…

 

Chats des rues, chats dans la ville, chats perdus, chats à la rue, chats errants… Ils se tiennent cois l'espace d'un cliché… Nous ne sommes pas là, nous n'existons pas, semblent dire leurs yeux figés d'émeraude… Nous sommes chimériques… Ne bougeons pas, nous ferons comme si nous ne nous étions jamais croisés…
Quelque part entre l'Hôtel de Ville et Saint Maclou…

"No…" signsJuly 2008 Theme Day

 

What a transition! In Rouen, dogs are forbidden in public gardens, even on a lead. The CGT (Confédération Générale du Travail), one of the French trade unions, has put a sticker on this sign a few weeks ago, during a demonstration. It has not been removed yet.

There are currently 172 blogs participating in this theme day: click here to view thumbnails for all participants.

L'Aître Saint Maclou

 

 

L'entrée de l'Aître Saint Maclou est protégée par cette statue de la Sainte Vierge, hélas usée par le temps et extrêmement dégradée…
