Artist's Description
It's peculiar to have been wandering amongst the hustle and bustle of the busy city of Lucerne (or Luzern), Switzerland, walk up a side street and find yourself in this eerily quiet enclosed area of calm where the Lion of Lucerne rests, oblivious to the activity going on outside. This incredibly poignant monument was carved in 1820-21 and commemorates the Swiss Guards massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution. Standing gazing up at the Sculpture of the gravely wounded Lion I was suddenly very aware of the hushed silence and immediately understood why Mark Twain had once described it as 'The most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world". I blended a little textures with my original photograph in black and white to compliment the vintage feel of this historic Swiss scene.
About Carol Japp
I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
