Le Havre hotel
Inescapable green halo on the rue de Paris, this hotel building gives a weird harbor atmosphere. At least this the impression that I have. I imagine tired foreign sailors staying there for a couple of days, waiting for their container ship to be emptied. What do they do during this time ? After weeks with the constant noise of the ship engine, they have at last some silence. Because this part of the city is rather quiet at night. Maybe they feel disturbed by the absence of roaring and the stability of earth after the slight balancing movement of the ship. Are they talking to their far away family through the internet ? Do they play a game of cards with their ship companions ? Maybe they just watch television and fall asleep in front of the screen and wake up in the middle of night with one of those cheap series that are usually played late at night. What you don't see is groups of drunken sailors singing in the streets at midnight…
