Paris Hotel and Fountains
Such a tourist photo!! I like it and besides I and scores of other intrepid touristas risked life and limb to take this shot. So many little light bulbs in Paris… It’s no wonder they’re nuclear powered….
the world’s largest triumphal arch, forms the backdrop for an impressive urban ensemble in Paris. / The monument surmounts the hill of Chaillot at the center of a star-shaped configuration of 12 radiating avenues. The view from top of the Champs Elysées you can see the smaller Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel in the Tuileries gardens, and from the Obélisque de Luxor in the place de la Concorde. The city of lights,Paris is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, with over 30 million visitors per year. La Madeleine / Arc de Triomphe / / Joelle / / Galeries Lafayette /
The Arc de Triomphe, one of the iconic monuments of Paris. It’s hard to match the postcard views of Paris that can be purchased around the world but we found this great setting for a memorable picture, the stairwell leading up to the exhibition hall.
3rd in Traffic Series.
Cityscape was shot from the top of the “Arc de Triomphe” in Paris (France). Far away you can see “La Defense” district. When the shot was taken the avenue was strangely empty, all the cars seemed to be escaping the city. I think this photograph will be great on Laminated print, Mounted print or Canvas print.

Throughout my stay in Paris I was on the lookoput for some traffic dusk shots. The Arc de Triomph is one of my favourite Paris landmarks and I wanted to capture the madness that constantly swirls around it. Shot taken in February 2008.

A COLLABORATION WITH LINAJI / (Thank you very much for your excellent poem) Where Do You Love From…Really / Author: linaji Where Do You Love From? / Your pink painted toes? / Or the hollow of your sighs / As my tongue journeys unabashedly / Down the silk trails of your thighs Does my latent life scream Onlyness? / Echo Eons from the heart / Where do you / Love from / Live From / Darling / When do we ever start? History has changed much / Now that Eve did eat the snake, / She brought about apples only / For mother’s pie in Adam’s wake Where do you Love from / Really? / The marrow of your bones? / Is longing, loving and living here / A pirates chest of stones? What about your fingertips? / Dipping softly into my flesh, / Do I utter sighs with beggars eyes / Or do I let our two lips mesh? Do you feel from what is stillness / A time when lovers care, / Do you ooze the sweet-laced vapors? / That my focus on you dares, That moan / That cry / That primal stare / That leads me inside you / Elusive hips that ride your smile / And worlds outside the Que. / A passions mist that takes our lips / A fog beyond compare, / I lay here spent with one leg bent / And dream with you I dare.. Now,, Where do you Love from,,,, / Really. FROM PARIS SERIES: / UNE FEMME PENSIVE / GLAMOUR / / BELLE PARISIENNE / / CHARLESTON / / / BELLE DE JOUR / / / FEMME EN BLEU /

Paris, France Feb 25/09 / Towards the Arc De Triomphe
Taken from the top of the Eiffel Tower, about 81 storeys up… Feb 25/09
The famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
My Step-Dad, Bill, turned 85 this past Friday. Bill is a WWII Vet. He enlisted when he was 18 and was in the 28th Infrantry Division. This Division is the oldest Division in the history of the armed forces in the U.S., going back to 1879. Stationed at Normandy, he was part of a three man team that shot a Howitzer Canon. He explained to me how it worked. The guy on the left set the position using a guide to sight their target. The guy on the right then set the canon into the proper position, after being instructed by the sighter. The guy behind the canon would have previously loaded it and when all was set, he would be commanded to set it off. They were on the front line. They all took turns rotating jobs. After Paris was invaded and then taken back, Bill marched under Arc de Triomphe in Paris with the 28th Division from Pennsylvania, among tens of thousands other soldiers to celebrate their victory. While here at my parent’s house, I happened to find this picture of Bill in a Photo Album. I had it scanned in and then went on July 4th to a nearby helicopter Museum during the darkness of the night. Driving all over the grass to get the right lighting, I put on my high beams to capture this old Shawnee. Then I framed it for Bill’s Birthday. He was so surprised and pleased!! Unfortunately, my Step-Dad is now riddled with Alzheimer’s Disease, however, he not too far gone! Yesterday I got him to hand dance and told him that we were doing the “Hand Jive!” He laughed and I love to make him laugh!! So, if you have it in your heart, please wish Bill a happy belated Birthday!!! Thanks ya’awl!! :))) The picture of the helicopter was shot in West Chester, Pennsylvania with a Canon 40D. American’s marching after fighting for 7 weeks in Normandy to celebrate their victory of reclaiming Paris: /
Detail of the Arc de Triomphe – Paris – Champs Elysee Détail from the scultpure : La paix de Antoine Étex http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Etex
Not your typical tourist snapshot of this historical monument, this photograph was taken by my father, J. Reeves Haley in March, 1945. The most stricking difference of course is the traffic , or lack of it – just a few army vehicles and soldiers. / This was taken with his Zeiss Super Ikonta BX which I have now.
Shot on my holidays in Northern France, this was shot underneath the Arc De Triomph in Paris, France. / Here is some info on the Arc De Triomphe from Wikipedia: / The Arc de Triomphe is a monument in Paris, France that stands in the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle, also known as the “Place de l’Étoile”. It is at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. The triumphal arch honors those who fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. On the inside and the top of the arc there are all of the names of generals and wars fought. Underneath is the tomb of the unknown soldier from World War I . / The Arc is the linchpin of the historic axis (L’Axe historique) — a sequence of monuments and grand thoroughfares on a route which goes from the courtyard of the Louvre Palace to the outskirts of Paris. The monument was designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806, and its iconographic program pitted heroically nude French youths against bearded Germanic warriors in chain mail and set the tone for public monuments, with triumphant nationalistic messages, until World War I. / The monument stands 49.5 m (162 ft) in height, 45 m (150 ft) wide and 22 m (72 ft) deep. The large vault is 29.19 m (95.8 ft) high and 14.62 m (48.0 ft) wide. The small vault is 18.68 m (61.3 ft) high and 8.44 m (27.7 ft) wide. It is the second largest triumphal arch in existence. Its design was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus. The Arc de Triomphe is so colossal that three weeks after the Paris victory parade in 1919, marking the end of hostilities in World War I, Charles Godefroy flew his Nieuport biplane through it, with the event captured on newsreel. / This section of Paris is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also France has designated the Arc as “Monuments d’Exception”. / Shot with a Nikon D70s and 18-70mm lens / f16 / 1/25 second / ISO 200 /
