Photo Of The Day: Saint-Trophime Stairway

Stairways always have a feeling of movement, whether they are full of people or completely empty.

Photo Of The Day: Font Of Saint-Honorat

The shell motif being the church’s only decoration.

Photo Of The Day: Saint-Trophime Cloister Window

Massively thick stone walls leave room for sitting in an arched window alcove in the Saint-Trophime cloisters in Arles.

When I first saw this room, it was empty.

Pâtes Au Saumon Frais

Pasta, usually tagiatelle, with salmon in a rich cream sauce is a traditional dish in Arles.

Photo of the Day: Saint-Trophime Cloisters

The light streams through the columns making it a high contrast environment, a perfect one for thought and contemplation on the abstract spiritual concepts of light and dark.

Photo Of The Day: Saint-Honorat In Les Alyscamps

Inside, the church was cool in comparison to the growing heat outside. Even though the space was in better shape than the last time I visited it, and more inviting to visitors, I was still alone in my visual research.

Photo Of The Day: Arles Saint-Trophime

This photo, although not perfect from an editorial perspective, was caught perfectly as the man on the bicycle passed by the church just as I clicked the shutter.

Photo Of The Day: Arles Green Shutters

Arles is a painterly place. More noticeable on the back streets, in the landscapes, or even in the cafes, which are all affected by the light and the color of the south.
