DescriptionMagical Courtyard at Night -- Hotel Cloitre St. Louis; Noviciat des Jésuites -- Avignon.jpg	English: Early October in 2005 was the perfect time for me in Avignon, France. And, one of the most magical experiences in a three week trip that went from Paris to Madrid by car by way of Barcelona and Marbella was how the courtyard of the Hotel Cloitre St. Louis was lit at night. Or, should I say, how the giant sycamore trees in the courtyard were lit. This digital photograph is an unaltered replication of the converted cloister's sycamore trees at night and no color balance or other manipulations of the original photograph were made. The hotel purposefully lit the trees with green and warm-yellow lights to obtain this stunning effect. The lights also created patterns of geometric shapes on the ceilings of the second and third floor courtyard hotel rooms.   This building is indexed in the base Mérimée, a database of architectural heritage maintained by the French Ministry of Culture, under the reference PA00081940 . brezhoneg ∙ català ∙ Deutsch ∙ English ∙ español ∙ Esperanto ∙ euskara ∙ français ∙ italiano ∙ magyar ∙ Nederlands ∙ português do Brasil ∙ português ∙ română ∙ sicilianu ∙ slovenščina ∙ suomi ∙ svenska ∙ Ελληνικά ∙ беларуская (тарашкевіца) ∙ македонски ∙ русский ∙ українська ∙ বাংলা ∙ +/−

Photographed with Konica Minolta Dimage A200 at ISO 200, f3.2, 1.6 seconds exposure on tripod. One of the reasons for selecting the Hotel Cloitre St. Louis was its reputation for being one of the naturally cooler temperature hotels in the area due to its thick stone walls and shaded courtyard. The sycamore trees in Avignon were reportedly planted on orders of Napoleon and, sycamore trees in France are loved for the amount of shade that they offer and how long they can live.
