Photographer’s Note

Yesterday, the statue of the virgin of the Fourvière Basilica was bathed in a beautiful light. I couldn't miss it...
This gold-plated eighteen feet and six ton statue is made of bronze. And it's been watching over Lyon for more than 150 years now.
The installation of the statue on the tower of the Basilica, on the 8th of December 1852, is the starting point of Lyon illuminations, which became the Festival of Lights.
