Arc de Triomphe stairwell, Looking Up

This was one of many shots I tried to take with the spiral--a bit hard trying to get one without tourists in the shot. Going down has a very different look as the stairs have etched patterns. But this is about the only one that came out. My heart aches for France. She has been treated so poorly this past year. Prayers are not enough. Our world must join to work in peace. Feeding fear breeds fear.

I didn't know you could go up on this famous building! I can see from your thumbnails that there are more nice photos for me to admire!

Great Capture, I too didn't realise you could go inside the Arc de Triomphe, obviously have to make another visit to Paris!

[Graeme Stevens]

Superb shot

This is such a perfect metaphor for what feels to be spiraling out of control. A fantastic image and well composed.

Wow what a fabulous spiral!! Fav!
Yes such a sad world we live in!! It makes us feel so helpless. Every time I have turned on the news today my heart has broken.
