Pont du Gard
I think its neat that people are still using the aqueduct today. Too bad it will some day collapse. Its strange that the poet thought it was constructed by a demon, but I guess that is because of the perfect same sized bricks and geometric shapes. When they show a far away image of the aqueduct it almost seems like it really doesnt fit; because the green vegetation that surrounds it just contrasts even more with it being man made and geometric. The aqueduct looks like its curving arches are repeated three times standing on top of the other; the top the smallest. The bricks that stick out on the surface are they like that on purpose for decoration or is it part of the construction?
