France - Paris - Arc de Triomphe - Looking up the spiral - blue sq

I took some looking down the spiral exit stair from the Arc de Triomphe but they didn't quite work, the shutter speeds being just too low. This was taken looking up just as you exit where there's handily a little flat roofed booth with a very surprised looking guy sitting in it to stop people entering that way (the surprise may have been a result of me placing my camera on his roof to take the shot).

For those interested I've been featured of the fotofame blog, fotofame.blogspot.com/2010/12/beetham-tower-close-up-by-d... , yesterday talking about one of my Manchester photos (and trying very hard not to sound too pretentious).

Taken in: France / Île-de-France / Paris / Hoche-Friedland (show map)
