Yesterday morning the big vet day commemoration took place on the
Champs Elysées in Paris. Like always on these occasions they installed a huge French flag in the middle of the Arch of Triumph and the President of the Republic went up the avenue to revive the flame of the unknown soldier. And for me, it was a good photo op! BTW,
have a look at this website, where they collected many objects that used to belong to soldiers of WWI. Quite moving.
You did a fine tribute here shooting in the famous Eric stile.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine photo Eric .... describing well the current French Presidency style ... I am sorry to say.... but this is your fault ;) Your photo could not make me think of anything else ! Like a big wink... :/ C'est comme ça...
ReplyDeleteI like the perspective on this shot, Eric.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely picture. And thank you for the cobblestones.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot... even the sky cooperated.
ReplyDeleteYou got it all in: arch, ancient cobblestones, bright blue sky, tricolore (and when I first looked, I didn't even see the cars). Parfait!
