Once upon a time in Foix…
Foix (a town in the Pyrenees region) is homonymous with many other French nouns. As in “Once upon a time” (“Il était une fois” – spelt differently).
It’s even part of a famous nursery rhyme aimed at teaching children how to spell that word according to the context.
It’s also home to a famous castle on top of a steep hill.
That woman wasn’t wearing a face-mask. The photo was taken when we were still free to roam. At least a little.
Foix- Ariège – August 2020
I'm a photographer and watercolourist. I have practiced photography since childhood and digital photography since 1995. I turned it into my main occupation in 2021. I own a photo studio in Paris, France.
