...sits in the middle of the largest roundabout in the world. It was commissioned by Napoleon to honor his military victories, although he never lived to see its completion. You can also notice all the prevalence of Haussman architecture in the vicinity, which Napoleon III commissioned to replace the deteriorating hovels that use to be there. Taken from the first level of Le Tour Eiffel, Paris, France; September, 2013.

The Arc de Triomphe remains a major landmark in Paris. Even that devil hitler recognised it's importance and paraded through it in his armour plated powerful limousine.

Great informative birds eye view of Pair-ee as the French pronounce it, well done. (o:

Progress equals a trashed planet since mankind is too busy altering it. BTW find the classic definition of Caedes here. Enjoy yourself today (o: because you don't know what tomorrow may bring.

Absolutely into my favorites and on my desktop. I have a fondness for architecture, Ted, and here you've given us loads of it, historic and romantic. My only adjustment before it hits my screen as wallpaper would be to level it a little. Do you have Photoshop, Ted? If so, the drop down menu behind the Eyedropper tool has a Ruler tool. Selecting it and drawing a line allows one to easily and perfectly rotate an image,particularly one of architecture. I pulled a copy of this one and used that tool on the right sunlit edge of the center column (in our view) of the Arc, then selected Image: Image Rotation: and Arbitrary. That indicated the object needed to rotate .82 degree counter-clockwise. I click OK and it's done. Voila. Easy, Peasy, Japaneasy, as my father used to say.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
