100 things: 100 photos - photo 10

This picture was taken under the Grande Arche at La Defense in Paris and looks down the promenade. At the very end you can see the Arc de Triomphe silhouetted against the sky. If it was a clear day, you would have also been able to see the Obelisque in the Place de la Concorde. The Grande Arche is the very end of the giant Axe Historique of Paris

interessting setup - without the arc in the background it could be any european city and one only sees the arc when actually looking at the picture past the "obvious" things I like it!

Thanks! That's the thing about the Modern International Style. It has made all cities look the same.

You are SO talented! You should do something with photography.

I don't know. I don't consider myself nearly as good at digital photography as I was when using film. Also sometimes you want to keep something as a hobby rather than take it too seriously. I do take part in photographic competitions on occasion, but never win.

Just beautiful. You are very good in photography, you have a good eye.
