~~ BEHIND MY STREET ~~

Behind my street, there are other streets with open doors onto gardens, and open windows over the spring. Behind my street, are other ways where I walk since the return of sunny days. They leads me from my Luquette district to Mom and Guy's home on Chantilly Hill. Derrière ma rue, il y a d'autres rues : des portes ouvertes sur des jardins, des fenêtres ouvertes sur le printemps. Derrière ma rue, d'autres chemins : je les parcours à pieds, depuis le retour des beaux jours. Ils me conduisent, chaque midi, de mon quartier de la Luquette au quartier de Maman et Guy, sur les hauteurs de Chantilly.

The distance between La Luquette and Chantilly is 4 km : to link this 2 districts of Alès, I follow the axis "Faubourg du Soleil - Rue d' Avéjan " and adjacent streets. Walking, we have time to give indiscreet glance over a fence... Every opportunity is to make a picture... I need about 1 hour walking (it takes me a dozen of minutes cycling). 4 bons kilomètres séparent La Luquette de Chantilly : pour relier ces deux quartiers Alésiens, j'emprunte les rues adjacentes à l'axe Faubourg du Soleil - Rue d'Avéjan. A pieds, on a tout le loisir de jeter un oeil indiscret par dessus une clôture, chaque occasion est bonne pour faire une image... Cette promenade me prend une heure à pieds, et une douzaine de minutes en VTT.

Walking gives muscular legs... La marche, cela fait les cuisses bien dures...

In Singapore, they sentence Tag to 1 month in prison and 20 lashes in public. I would ask the taggers proponents if they allow this art on their house walls or their car windshields.

 A Singapour, un tag, cela vaut un mois de prison et 20 coups de fouet sur la place publique. Si un tagueur se fait prendre, il ne sera pas allé à Singa-pour-rien... Je voudrais demander aux partisans des tagueurs si ils autorisent l'expression de cet art sur le mur de leur maison ou sur le pare-brise de leur voiture...

This is much more beautiful than a tag.

Thank you Mr and Ms Rougier...

C'est quand même nettement plus beau qu'un tag...

Merci  Monsieur et Madame Rougier...

Everytime I am on Chantilly Hill, Mom faithfully greet me. Thank for everything...

Hi! Mom... Hi! Dad Guy... A chacun de mes passages sur les hauteurs de Chantilly, Maman est là pour me saluer fidèlement. Merci pour tout, salut Maman, salut Papa Guy...

In the small yellow box, I slipped my "priority mail" stamped message, so that you will receive it faster. Because I have something crucial to say : once you have a moment, do like me, put on your walking shoes -it is more comfortable with 2 socks pairs- and breathe the spring, everywhere, BEHIND MY STREET, and behind your... ~~ Nobody can give you freedom, you have to find it in yourself...

Hi my passengers. Thierry-chiloedream.

Dans la petite boite jaune, j'ai glissé mon message affranchi en "courrier prioritaire" pour qu'il vous arrive plus vite, parce que j'ai quelque chose de capital à vous dire : dès que vous avez un moment, faites comme moi, chaussez vos souliers de marche - avec 2 paires de chaussettes c'est encore plus confortable - et respirez  le printemps : il est partout,  DERRIERE MA RUE, et derrière la vôtre... ~~ Personne ne peut vous donner la liberté, elle est à trouver en vous-même...

La musique est mémoire de la mer... Miguel Angel Asturias ~~ Et pour le LOTO cette semaine, ce n'est vraiment pas difficile :  33, 35, 17, 7, 14, 9, 43, 20.  Pour le complémentaire, il faut demander à Robert BURNS... Et si vous souhaitez danser le TANGO derrière ma rue :

Beaucoup de couleur dans ton tabblo, Thierry ! J'ai un gros faible pour tes serrures (et les portes, et les grilles, d'une manière générale). Très joli chat roux, mais Babouche va être jalouse ! Bisous.

J'aime cette balade dans Ales, il y a un air pas completement meconnu pour moi tout en etant a la fois etonnement nouveau. Merci pour ton regard si simple et si beau sur les choses , les gens qui nous entourent.. Bises
