Situated in the Haute-Savoie region of South Eastern France, the Alpine town of Annecy has a history going all the way back to Roman times. In a picturesque location, between mountains and lake, this wonderful area just oozes old world charm. A leisurely stroll along the waterfront is the perfect way to spend an afternoon, stopping to admire the pastel coloured facades, complete with red tile roofs and the towering French Alps as a backdrop. Pictured here is Palais de L'Ile, a landmark monument with a history dating back to the 12th century. Once used as a courthouse, prison and adminitstrative office, it is now a museum. I hand blended a little texture with my original photograph in vintage sepia, to compliment this idyllic old world French canal scene.

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...
