I guess the tree wanted a little sunshine too!
When I took this shot I was trying to get the branch pointing skywards; not sure it turned out quite as intended!

Aix-en-Provence; Provençal Occitan, or simply Aix (pronounced: "Ex", medieval Occitan Aics), is a city-commune in south of France, some 30 km (19 mi) north of Marseille.
It is in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, in the département of Bouches-du-Rhône, of which it is a subprefecture.
The population of Aix is approximately 143,000. Its inhabitants are called Aixois or, less commonly, Aquisextains.
Aix (Aquae Sextiae) was founded in 123 BC by the Roman consul Sextius Calvinus, who gave his name to its springs, following the destruction of the nearby Gallic oppidum at Entremont.
Aix, which during the Middle Ages was the capital of Provence, did not reach its zenith until after the 12th century, when, under the houses of Barcelona/Aragon and Anjou, it became an artistic centre and seat of learning.
Aix passed to the crown of France with the rest of Provence in 1487, and in 1501 Louis XII established there the parliament of Provence, which existed until 1789. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the town was the seat of the Intendance of Provence.
The local Aix dialect, rarely used and spoken by a rapidly decreasing number of people, is part of the provencal dialect of Occitan language. The provencal for "Aix-en-Provence" is "Ais de Prouvènço". Most of the older streets in Aix have names in both Provençal and French.
Aix is often referred to as the city of a thousand fountains. Among the most notable are the 17th-century Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins (Fountain of the Four Dolphins) in the Quartier Mazarin, designed by Jean-Claude Rambot, and three of the fountains down the central Cours Mirabeau: At the top, a 19th-century fountain depicts the "good king" René holding the Muscat grapes that he introduced to Provence in the 15th century; halfway down is a natural hot water fountain (34 °C), covered in moss, dating back to the Romans; and at the bottom at la Rotonde, the hub of modern Aix, stands a monumental fountain from 1860 beneath three giant statues representing art, justice and agriculture.
In the older part of Aix, there are also fountains of note in the Place d'Albertas and the Place des Trois-Ormeaux.
Unlike most of France which has an oceanic climate, Aix-en-Provence has a Mediterranean climate.

Klokkentorentje op het landhuis, Roosendael.
De familie Pirard bouwde in 1919-1920 een fraai landhuis in cottage-stijl op de fundamenten van het oude gastenkwartier van de voormalige abdij
Het was Marguerite Pirard die Roosendael in 1959 bij testament aan het Groot Seminarie van Mechelen overliet.
Eind jaren 70 kreeg Roosendael een bestemming als jeugdverblijfcentrum.
Intussen is het domein eigendom van Stichting Kempens Landschap en wordt het nog altijd beheerd door vzw Roosendael.
Tijdens de Open Monumentendag van morgen, 14 september is Roosendael opnieuw open. Focus wordt gelegd op de 20ste eeuw (met het landhuis) en de consolidatie en restauratie van de archeologische site (er worden nieuwe ontdekkingen aan het publiek getoond !)

Platanus is a genus comprising a small number of tree species native to the Northern Hemisphere. They are the sole living members of the family Platanaceae.
All members of Platanus are tall, reaching 30–50 m in height. All except for P. kerrii are deciduous, and most are found in riparian or other wetland habitats in the wild, though proving drought-tolerant in cultivation. The hybrid London Plane has proved particularly tolerant of urban conditions.
They are often known in English as planes or plane trees. Some North American species are called sycamores.
