Reflections
Thursday, July 01, 2010 Publié par Eric Tenin
Here we go again... Today is the 1st of the month, therefore a theme day. Today's theme is much easier than the one of last month: reflections! I waited until dark, thinking it would be easier, but not really... I ended up on the Place de l'Etoile with my scooter. And the easiest I could think of, was to take a photo of the Arc de Triomphe in the mirror of my scooter. Check the reflections of the CDP community throughout the world by clicking here.

Great picture. Reminds me of Diva (my favourite French film of all time)! Alex (from Vrsovice Photo Diary)

Paris has the best reflections - of course! This architectural detail is lovely Eric.

Spending one of the best time in my life in Paris, this surely brought back memories, thank you so very much for that. A nice Thursday for you.

Reflections from a scooter mirror, what a wonderful adventure!

I agree with J Bar...very creative, Eric. I'd recognize the top of L'Arc even if it were reflected off a monk's shaven head...okay, I might be pushing it with that one. Hey, I like the evening perspective. Merci, and be careful around that roundabout; those French cabbies are ruthless. ;-)

REFLECTION.....PERFECTION !!

Great choice, Eric! Like Coltrane, I have to say that I would have recognized this particular structure no matter how little of it you showed us. It's true—Paris reflections ARE the best!

LEave to you to blow us all out of the water Eric. LOVE this shot. I hope to see that new Popemobile, I mean your new scooter the next visit. :)

Excellent!! Love it. It is almost surreal and that mirror has an ET sort of look to it..LOL!!

I did not visit the Arc when I was in Paris (for shame, I know!) though we drove by it on a tour through the city, later walked all the way around it looking for a night club. What was striking to me, was how dangerously trafficked the roundabout was during the daytime, and yet, at night we crossed all those roads going 'round it and only three or four cars in sight the whole time! It really is so much more beautiful at night! Although on my next visit I will definitely go atop it and for that I assume daytime is best.

...I imagine there were men in black cars following him and a black briefcase to be delivered to a secret location, and yet our hero in a split second managed to creat a masterpiece......

P.S. Happy Canada Day !!!

Wow! That is a great shot!

Fun shot with the traffic whizzing along in the background. Only you could have brought us this night vision in your scooter mirror.

I don't know how to get myself onto the City Daily Photo page, but I'm joining in anyway over at Cheltenham Daily Photo! :)
Great photo Eric - a little peek at the wonderful Arc.

A good choice and one that could only be captured in Paris.

At first I thought it was a magnifying glass. As usual, you give us an interesting perspective!!!

I like the focus on the arch!
July 1, 2010 1:57:00 PM GMT+02:00
That's beautiful. I love that you left the scene outside of the mirror too.

Ooh, I agree with Monica, Reflection Perfection! So lovely and SO creative! Wonderful.

Ohhh I love it! Beautiful. Calendar material for 2011! Merci, Valorie

An icon...almost.
Martin's comment is funny. What was the movie in which the photographer unknowingly photographed a murder? A 1960s English film. Vanessa Redgrave...

Very creative. Do I love it ? Hmm, artistically, yes! But the Arc de triomphe is much nicer in front of us, rather than behind, isn't it? ;)
Just kidding! Of course, the shot is great... :)

@Martin ".I imagine there were men in black cars following him and a black briefcase to be delivered to a secret location, and yet our hero in a split second managed to creat a masterpiece....." You're on drugs LOL!
Hey Flore, long time no see ;-) Glad to see you back.
I know you must be busy at work these days...
