Tour EDF - a photo on Flickriver

Tour EDF

This is a shot of Tour EDF in La Defense - Paris. Its the first building I ever saw online from La Defense and as soon as I saw it - I said one day I will go there. And in fact its the building I made a beeline for as soon as I arrived, just loved its flying saucer like entrance and that cut out that makes the building so iconic.

Even though it was during the week I set my tripod up and shot the building from various different angles and in fact on various different days - and not once did I get any security hassle - what a breath of fresh air.

I learnt yesterday that 4 of my shots attained Honoury Mentions in the IPAs - not for this shot but for my set from MACBA and my Venice cityscape - pleased as punch
