Twilight in Paris, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

Yesterday I got my Engineer title, so I just felt like celebrating by posting a picture.

I took this one on my last trip to Paris. Another example of why I will always travel with my tripod from now on!

The reflecting waters are from the pools around the pyramid at the Louvre. On the left you can see the museum while on the right you have the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. In the center, what looks like a fireball is a dancer with flamming rods.

Hello Simon,
Congratulations on gaining you Engineer Title. You have posted a beautiful photo to celebrate. I love the reflections on the perfectly still water and the colour of the sky is superb. Nice one.
Cheers,
Debbie

Salut Simon,
Toi aussi les nights shot semblent bien te plaire.
Ici, c'est bien vu car c'est l'heure bleue, l'heure � laquelle le ciel n'est pas trop noir et o� les lumi鋨es sont allum嶪s.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

J'aime bien la convergence des lignes vers l'avant de plus cela donne un effet de profondeur � la photo. La lumi鋨e est bien contr犨嶪 et sans ne tombe pas dans l'exc鋊. J'aime bien aussi la sc鋝e avec un coucher de soleil qu'on ne voit pas.

Int廨essante prise Simon, le "V" form� par la rampe donne une dimension p跫ticuli鋨e � la photo. Jolie r嶨lection des lumi鋨es 嶲alement, bien fait !

Hi Simon,
Very beautiful view, u've caught an interesting angle that looks like a boomerang:) Clear shot and the lights are amazing and what;s interesting are the reflections, they are so different than whats up there, it's a great effect.
Regards,
Gordana
