ANNECY, BASKET SHOP, FRANCE
Image Number 229
Annecy is a commune on Lake Annecy 35 klm south of Geneva. It nestles below the French Alps in one of the most beautiful areas of France. Annecy is noted for its canals.
The weekly market in Annecy runs alongside the canals. The basket shop sits just over one of the foot bridges and the crowds make it almost impossible to photograph on market day with a tripod. This image is notable not simply for its French character, but also for the fact that it took over an hour for an opportunity to trip the shutter.
