The Eye

Actually it’s a view up the atrium of the Galleries Lafayette* (previously incorrectly referred to as ‘Printemps’) department store in Paris, France. They’re remarkably indulgent about tourists taking photos from the balconies on each floor (and in my case, although not for this shot, from the floor of the cosmetics department looking upwards).

*The view from the roof is pretty spectacular, too, by the way – and it’s free!
