Artist's Description
One of the things I was really looking forward to on a recent trip to the French city of Lyon, was the chance to explore the historic 'traboules' of the old town and beyond. An ancient labyrinth of secret doors and passageways, each one unique, revealing incredible examples of concealed architecture, some dating as far back as the 4th Century, when the first 'traboules' were built. These winding stairways and covered corridors were used by the silk merchants of the time as a means to transport their precious goods without ever exposing them to the damaging elements. People could move between buildings, and even streets, without ever going outside. And now...if you dare to push those heavy wooden doors, hold your breath to see if they will open and then take a peek inside, it will be well worth it to see these magnificent hidden architectural gems. I blended a little texture with my original photograph in black and white to compliment this vintage French 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...
