From the Lousberg in Aachen you have a splendid view over the city. In this picture you can see the City Hall (Rathaus) and the Cathedral (Dom) of Aachen. This picture was taken in the evening during the blue hour. The Cathedral and City Hall are beautifully illuminated.
From the Pont Saint-Bénézet (better known as Bridge of Avignon / Pont d’Avignon), you have a beautiful view on the old city of Avignon. The Papal Palace is clearly visible. The Pont d’Avignon was built in the 12th century and originally 899m long. It had 22 arches, but only 4 of them still stand and reach into the river Rhone. The Bridge of Avignon once has been the only fixed connection between Lyon and the Mediterranean.
This picture is taken from the Vrijthof in Maastricht, part of the old city and is showing the Sint-Jan Church, Basilica of Saint Servatius and the main guard building (Hoofdwacht).
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.
Avignon shortly after Sunset. The bridge of Avignon (Pont d’Avignon) is clearly visible, as is the Papal Palace (Palais des Papes), the river Rhone and the traffic in this long exposure.
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.
