The black building here in the center at the Confluences features an array of small solar cells. These south-facing additions help to reduce power consumption of the building, and giving it a nearly black appearance. Up close, the solar cells are not as nearly close together as they appear from far away.

            If only my little iPhone could take wider view photos, this bridge adjacent to the Museum looked pretty neat with the angled tethers.

            A side view of the Confluence Museum. This view continues to show it's sharp and ridged architecture.

            The featured artwork is a metal installation above one of the subway platforms (I forgot which line it is). The tracks below feature a special autonomous subway which operates for a particular stretch here in Lyon. It looks like the other subways in the city who are operated by an actual person, however, this one is just a series of linked cars, and not much else. The principle of being autonomous is pretty neat; it still takes you to the next destination on its route. My immediate questions loop to wonder how it handles passengers who many have fallen asleep onboard once it reaches its offline hours, or if someone unfortunately falls in the tracks?

          Observing the high density composition of a city is one of my favourite things to see when visiting a new area. It's fascinating to observe from a grand height the position of building as they grow over time, and how life is able to continue in such a compact layout.

            These two skyscrapers are called the "Eraser" and the "Pencil" as seen by their compositions. The building on left is called "Incity Tower" (Tour Incity), and on the right is the "Tour Part-Dieu"

            Scaling up the church and onto a walkway on the roof, we will soon be able to see heightened views of Vieux Lyon and Lyon combined.

            Similar to the previous photo, this small bridge allows a segment of the city tram to pass over to continue onto their next destination.

            South of the Musée des Confluences is an open-air area where you can explore the green space and enjoy photos together. You can walk closer to the point where the Rhône and Saône divide.

           The Musée des Confluences features a defined glass and metal composition- a very sharp and ridged harmony between the two to consequently create art.

            Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon) is the area of Lyon located to the west of the Saône River, and features the historical significances of the city. As seen this photo, and many more to come, the streets are cobblestone- and very well polish (worn down) from the continuous rubbing they receive from people walking on top.
