Viaduc des Arts

Many photos are best taken from an angle that is difficult to get to. Bridges are perfect for observing life passing on the street below.

Sheila, my reviewer and fellow-photographer, met at the Gare de Lyon to climb up onto an old viaduct which has been transformed into 2km of sequential gardens and walkways, covered with arbors of roses and filled with narrow rectangular ponds reminiscent of the Taj Mahal.

Photography is usually a solitary activity. It was good to walk, talk and observe together. It is time to start training my eye for filming on Thursday.
