Look Out!

This was taken at the top of the Arc de Triomphe last week. You can just make out the Sacré Coeur in the distance. Inspired by Daryl's @darlyo shot from her trip to Paris last summer:

@darlyo I tried to include the link from your shot posted on 365, but it's having none of it. Don't know why it doesn't appear!

What an interesting image - does someone pop up and polish that telescope every morning, it looks pristine!

@judithdeacon That's what I thought! Very shiny and new looking. Not sure if they are new or not ... I can't remember from my last trip up there.

Wow that is a beautiful telescope you have found, beautiful blue sky!

[HelenM]

Lovely shot. The railings behind also look new.

Interestin image!

Excellent image.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

All brass and shine — impressive! I like your chosen DOF, with the city a blur of shapes and non distinct structures.

[Lin]

Wonderful fav!

[Kathy]

A beautiful instrument. I like how the reflection of the sky gives it a royal blue finish which looks great with the silver and brass colors.

[Tom]

Beautiful sharpness, detail, focus and color

[Taffy]

Well, I enjoyed the thread and looking through the history of inspirations, and loved how yours turned out.
