Glanum

This picture was taken near the entrance to Glanum, France. Where the Celtics built a fortified city which was influenced by Greek merchants and later renovated by the Romans after they had taken over the place. This was because there was a sacret spring which was said to contain healing powers (but has since been reduced to a green puddle in which ducks and fish swim) and it was strategically built on the flanks of a gorgeous mountain range (As far as there are mountains in the Provence).

Van Gogh actually painted his 'Starry Night', and many other paintings, here, because he liked the place so much. He had the time to do so because he was staying at an insane asylum, so that must have been nice.

Tl;dr Nice place, huh?

Edit: I made an album with pictures of my time in Glanum, so for those interested, go check that out! http://imgur.com/a/C2oHF

Can we get a closer view of that building please?

I have made an album with pictures I took there. It still needs some editing, but the pictures are there

Great, thank you! ... And who the fuck downvoted my polite request???

You're welcome! And it wasn't me..

I didn't assume that anyway. ^ ^

The album is up now! Enjoy :)
