La Grande Arche by jamibann

La Grande Arche

Open for business again, as of yesterday! We were up at La Défense yesterday and discovered that the work on the Grand Arche is finished. I'm going to try and go back with my daughter today. Our friends are too claustrophobic to want to take that glass elevator to the top, seemingly!
That is an incredible building. Great photo of it. Love the people to give the grand scale and perspective.

Wonderful perspective and composition. It's impressive!

Really like your perspective

Great shot of an unusual architectural technic : do you now that there is the same in the ground than at the top : it makes a square and it's why it's solid.

Oh wow -- this looks like such an amazing structure -- how cool it would be to go up to the top. I like the architectural details.

Such a large scale building. You really were able to capture the perspective.

@ducasrouge I didn't realise that, but it does make sense!

Oh how funny—I just asked a question on tomorrow's photo that you may have answered on this one. Is the elevator the thing in the middle?

@squamloon Yes! I think staff who work in the offices however use an interior lift on the right hand side of building. The glass lifts are for tourists only, I believe, and for access to the rooftop and restaurant/bar/exhibition centre.

@jamibann Merci!

Wow! Amazing capture of this incredible building!

fabulous shot ... just curious, why black and white? I'm wondering how the sky looks in color, especially through the arch.

@lynnz Good question ... I felt it was more dramatic in black and white. Will also post the colour version - just for you! :-) Tell me what you think.
