Description
Cimbing up any of the steep steps of Fourviere Hill is exhausting, particularly in the warmth of early autumn. The best way to experience the panoramic view of the city and especially the charming Vieux Lyon, is to take the historic funicular up and walk back down, less tiring and a lot more enjoyable! At the top of this daunting set of stone stairs, you have the most fantastic vista before you, out across the tiled rooftops, taking in the tower and flying buttresses of Cathedrale Saint Jean Baptiste (St John's Cathedral). This wonderful building situated on the bank of the Saone River and built in the gothic and romanesque architectural styles has a history dating back to the 12th Century. I hand blended a little texture with my original photograph in black and white to compliment the historic feel of this old world Lyon city scene.

Wow, Carol! Now thats a view that goes on and on, I ,like it, amazing spot! I think you Know the secret to Great Photography, Its not the camera or the lens, its where the Artist makes her stand. That position allows you to take that shot and the second half is the Light. The Lighting if you are lucky is on your side depending on the mood you are engaging, sun shadow long absent, cloudy overcast, dark, twilight, night and the elements, sorry I go on and on and on... I like it!The blending of course too!
