Mini Mission : Short Story - "6 pm, the tower is still rising"

Many a story can be told from this picture:
* the story of the shoppers / ants crossing the footpath in the top left corner;
* the story of the car drivers waiting at the red light, especially how they do not envy the life of the crane pilot or building crews up there in the unfinished tower;
* and of course the story of that very building, how the glass skin progressively grows, covering the steel and concrete skeleton.

Lyon

Country/Region: France
Lyon

Lyon is a city that rewards wandering. Tucked between the Rhône and the Saône, it’s a place where Renaissance alleyways open onto lively squares, where steep hills reveal sweeping views and where every neighborhood seems to have its own rhythm. You’ll find centuries-old bouchons packed with locals at lunch, contemporary galleries hidden inside former factories and cafés where people linger for hours over a coffee and a conversation. Bring your camera and lose yourself in the mix of old charm and modern creativity.
