Hey everyone !
As some of you that know me IRL probably know, on top of being a fluffy Fox, I love doing other stuff, especially travelling and taking pictures ^^
That's why starting today, every week I'll try to share a shot I made during one of my previous travels !

I hope you will like this content, even though this is not cute fursuit pictures !
(It will motivate me to finally treat the thousands of RAWs rotting on my HDD ^^)

For the first entry, let me show you my hometown of Lyon.
I took that shot of the Old City from the staircases of Fourvière at the golden hour. I like the reflection the light makes on the rooftops !

I did not take this shot in China or Japan, but simply at the Botanical Garden in Montréal, during the annual Light Festival.
