This is a panorama taken in Avignon during the blue hour. Night is falling, so the lights are switched on. The bridge in front is the Bridge of Avignon (Pont d’Avignon). Behind it you can see the tracers of the traffic in front of the city wall. Within the city wall you can find the papal palace as a beautiful and interesting part of the old city.
The historic town hall was built during the Dutch Golden Age, the 17th century. In 1981 a European Summit took place with Dries van Agt, Helmut Schmidt, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing and Margaret Thatcher and others.
The theatre of Heerlen during the blue hour. The night is falling in Heerlen, so people go out to the theatre. On this picture the theatre is beautifully illuminated and has nice light itself and the sky isn’t completely dark yet.
This alleyway is found near the cathedral of Aachen in the old city of Aachen. This picture shows the Cafe Rose and the cathedral shop during the blue hour.
In this building, functioning as the Province Hall of the Dutch province Limburg) in Maastricht at the Maas reside the Provinciale Staten (parliament of the province Limburg) and the Gedeputeerde Staten (Government of the province Limburg). The chairman is called Gouverneur, but only in the province Limburg. His official title is the King’s Commissioner.
This picture was taken during the blue hour and shows this interesting building with the river Maas in the foreground. The illumination reflects in the Maas beautifully giving some extra colour and light.
The Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht is a museum of fine art. It is housed in a building from the Architect Aldo Rossi. It is considered a landmark of Maastricht.
This picture shows the Bonnefantenmuseum at night, taken from the other side of the Maas, making the river Maas a nice foreground for the building in this picture, with reflections from the lights on the other side.
