Space Invaders Avignon

One of the things I love doing when visiting cities (if available) is space invaders hunting. Avignon happens to be blessed as one of the cities that he has hit up.

For those of you who don't know Avignon it's on the boarder of Provence and the Cote d'Azur. Most of the notable landmarks around Avignon are a bunch of bridges or "Pont" in French.  Pont du Guard, the gigantic Roman Aqueduct bridge built in 19BC ,Pont de Langlois, a drawbridge that was one painted by Van Gogh and of course the Pont D'Avignon- the bridge that was never completed.
Pont D'Avignon
I noticed that Space Invader's color schemes were quite soft in comparison to the bold colors that he usually uses in London. I'm not sure if it is a maturation thing or if he was trying to blend in with the soft sandy colors of Provence.

As in most of my space invader pictures, I try to provide a reference point for those of you who want to track them down.  Happy invader hunting!

Space Invaders Blvd. de Perolles

One of the things that I enjoyed the most about living in Fribourg is the number of Space Invaders available to me.  I once researched that there were 6 Space Invaders in town but unfortunately, I have only been able to locate seven of them and of course, I'm missing a photo of two of the five...
On the Corner of Rue des Alpes and Rue de Lausanne
no location directions needed :

Stickers that no longer exist on Blvd. de Perolles

My buddy who use to greets me every morning on my way to the train station (location self explanatory)

And sorry for the poopie picture! the Space Invader at the entrance to the Funicular

Brick Lane Space Invader

You can see that something has been ripped down between the statue and space invaders. It was another piece by the artist who does close ups of people's faces like the one in yesterday's post. The statues all use to have heads and legs as well....
