The picturesque Alpine town of Annecy, in the Haute-Savoie area of Southeastern France, has a history dating all the way back to Roman times. In an idyllic location, nestled between mountains and lake, this fairytale area is filled with old town charm. A stroll along the canal is the ideal way to spend an afternoon, stopping to admire the chocolate box, pastel coloured facades, topped with red tile roofs.

I blended a little texture with my original photograph to compliment this vintage old world French 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...
