Artist's Description
Traboules are passageways associated with the city of Lyon, France, In Lyon, they were originally used by silk manufacturers and other merchants.
The layout of Vieux Lyon is such that there are very few connecting streets running perpendicular to the river, so the traboules allowed workmen and craftsmen to transport clothes and other textiles through the city while remaining sheltered from inclement weather. They are often credited with helping prevent occupying German forces from taking complete control of these areas during World War II.
This reminded me of the famous Escher print "Relativity ."
About W Chris Fooshee
'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.' ~ Marcel Proust, writer, Paris, 1871-1922. My photographs are not merely a record of what was before my camera, but rather my visualization of the place and time as I remember discovering it, be it a particular mood, impression, or ambiance. These images may bring back memories of your own travels or they might inspire, you in some small way to venture off and maybe discover exciting, new landscapes of your own. But in the meantime, consider placing one of these photographs on your wall as a window to foreign lands. A note to those who purchase one of my images, you have my deepest thanks. I am honored that you have chosen one of my photographs...
