The story behind the image
During our trip to Paris, France, we did a lot of the things tourists do in Paris, from climbing the Eiffel Tower and visiting the Louvre to cruising the Seine in a guided tour.
One evening saw us walking along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, probably one of the best known streets in the world. There were many tourists (just like us) but they distributed nicely across the long and wide street.
At the end of our walk we stood right in front of the Arc de Triomphe. There was not a lot traffic – at least not as much as I remember when I drove into the huge roundabout back in 1988. Visitors were overlooking the avenue from the top of the building, but it was getting fresh and we needed to return to the hotel, so we skipped this experience.
Anyway, I picked a location in the middle of the avenue to achive a symmetrical frontal image of the monument.
Of course, there are 100,000s of similar images. Now there is one more – and I like it. 🙂
