Navigate to... City Center... Orvault

Orvault - France


I'm stubborn to continue my personal project with the theme "Navigate to... City center... ". This post is about Orvault, a small commune in west France, near Nantes.

My arrival time here was somewhere before 8 o'clock in the morning. Parking... was no problem, I park my car in front of the town hall, free of charge. Was seems like the mayor and all the other workers are still home taking the breakfast. A "boulangerie" was already open but... "why?" was my question because the streets were really empty and so they were remaining for another one and a half hour :)

Anyhow... I grab my camera like always, I choose the 50mm lens and I let my eye and soul to capture the beauty of the moment, even in such a small commune.


At number 11 nobody is awake yet

Some flowerpots for design in the center of the village. You can see in the background a bunch of cars, probably one is of the owner from bulangerie, another one is of the worker from bulangerie :)

Those two flowerpots catch my eye. I like when I see people trying to give life and joy in they'er home's. Waking up and watch on the window, seeing that small two spots of life and color give probably a smile on they're face's

Wall paint in the yard of the school, which by the way... was empty, no children at 8 o'clock. I'm wondering... maybe it was Sunday?!?!?! :))))

By number 12... nobody awake yet, like on his neighbor cross the street from number 11. Maybe is a contest, who is wake up the last????
