back on the road and a person, walking with a dog, just reaching the very edge of the caf coming out of the dark. Just above the caf is another building showing up, covering the dark sky, the strip on the other side of the road does not seem to reach that high. Those houses allow the viewer to have a look at the incredible dark and also clear sky that is sprinkled with stars.Caf at Night caught my eye, because I feel a certain relation to it. I would not be able to say why, but I am very sure that van Gogh painted a scene in southern Europe. When you have ever been in the south of France, living the style the people down there live, you may be able to understand why I feel that comfortable with this piece of artwork. It seems like somehow I am set back into my vacation to France couple years ago. Although it is already dark, a lot of people are still sitting outside in a caf or elsewhere relaxing and having conversations with each other. It is probably already a little bit chilly, so that ladies have sweaters around their shoulders and gentlemen unroll their shirts, but nobody lets this coolness destroy such a wonderful summer night.As you can see by the little story, I just told you about a nice summer night in the south Europe, this picture is not just showing a caf at night for me. Reminders of few certain nights are crossing my mind when I look at Van Goghs artwork. Reminders that I do not want to miss, because they take me back to friends I once had, or still have and miss over here, in the United States of America....
