<p>ARLES : Les sièges vides implorent l’ombre<br />
Les rencontres (photographiques) d’Arles. <br />
Les sites des expositions sont répartis entre différents secteurs de la ville. <br />
On se déplace à pied, le dédale des rues décourage une circulation automobile.<br />
La chaleur est intense. Une cinquième vague de canicule touche la France. <br />
Les sièges des restaurants et les bancs des parcs restent vides sous le soleil. <br />
Pas de repos ni réconfort quand on est mal placé.</p>

<p>Pour terminer cette semaine photographique consacrée au cheval à Chantilly, quittons les sculptures, les bronzes et les peintures pour retrouver cette fois les chevaux bien vivants.<br />
Dans le parc du château, une longue file de cavaliers passe tranquillement entre les arbres. Les chevaux avancent au pas sur le chemin clair, soulevant derrière eux un léger nuage de poussière que la lumière fait apparaître au milieu de la végétation.<br />
À Chantilly, le cheval ne se rencontre pas seulement dans les collections du Musée Condé ou du Musée du Cheval. Il appartient toujours pleinement au paysage et à la vie du domaine, où des promenades équestres permettent encore aujourd'hui de parcourir les allées du parc à cheval. Château de Chantilly<br />
Une dernière image qui referme ainsi la boucle : après avoir rencontré le cheval représenté par les artistes et raconté à travers les siècles, le voici simplement en mouvement, sous les arbres de Chantilly.<br />
<br />
To close this photographic week devoted to horses at Chantilly, it is time to leave sculptures, bronzes and paintings behind and return to the living horse.<br />
In the château park, a long line of riders quietly makes its way between the trees. The horses walk along the pale track, raising a light cloud of dust behind them, caught by the sunlight against the surrounding greenery.<br />
At Chantilly, horses are not only found in the collections of the Musée Condé or the Museum of the Horse. They remain very much part of the landscape and life of the estate, where horseback rides still offer visitors the opportunity to explore the paths of the park. Château de Chantilly<br />
A final image that brings the week full circle: after encountering the horse as portrayed by artists and represented through the centuries, here it is simply alive and moving beneath the trees of Chantilly.</p>
