When is neither day nor night; when the sun has set, but his light still lingers in the sky; when the street lamps are still warming up... It is the time to start installing my camera on the tripod...
Arc de Triomphe, on Champs-Elysees in Paris at twilight. This Arch of Triumph was commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte following his victory in the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805, but was completed only in 1836. 50m high, it marks an intersection of 12 roads.
