Thursday, Arles

This is the reconstructed Roman Colosseum that dominates the hillside of Arles.

This picture from the top of the colosseum shows the Rhone.

This view from the top of the Colosseum looks up the Rue Voltaire toward Van Gogh's "yellow house" which stood near the top right corner of the picture until it was destroyed during the second world war.

Here is a little puppet theater that was setting up for an evening performance.

This is the hospital courtyard where Van Gogh stayed after his manic attack where he severed part of his ear. He painted several pictures here both of the courtyard and a view of the ward.
