Death by photography?

This is not a great photo. I snapped it, crossing (on the pedestrian crossing) the Champs Elyssées at the Arc de Triomphe, Paris. It is hard to convey the idiocy of these three girls, in the middle of the road, trying to get photographs of themselves in front of the Arc de Triomphe (which you can just see on the RHS of the photo): cars whizzing by, buses, tourists, complete mayhem, and all with the background knowledge that pedestrian crossings and lines on roads in Paris are only painted on for decoration, not necessarily for function.

Wonderful title and perhaps with the up coming Olympics, Paris might realize that a safe place for such shots might be a good thing.

Crazy! Love your title!!

Great capture. Your title says it all

Oh dear they are only young and just don't see the darts dangers. The traffic in Paris scares the life out me. I hope they all get home again

[Diana]

A fabulous shot of these daring and pretty silly young ladies, a great narrative!

[Rob Z]

Lol - that's a great catch of sheer stupidity! :)

Great street shot. For me, just walking on the cobblestones in such heels is already a challenge!

A cool street shot

[Susan Wakely]

Invincible! But a great photo opportunity.

[Joan Robillard]

Nice

Nicely done. I know I've stood in traffic a few times to get the shot I want.

[Oli Lindenskov]

Nice👍😊

Awesome street shot and title

[Merrelyn]

Great title. It scares me to stand in the middle of traffic free road to take a photo. I have to have someone watching out for unexpected traffic. What they're doing is crazy.

[Phil Howcroft]

oh dear that isn't a good location for them !!!

[Christine Sztukowski]

Perfect title

[Yao RL]

Yes, perfect title, aren't they crazy.

Nothing is expensive for a good photo, these young people think. When they get older, they will think differently. A well captured scene.
