View on large on black please!
In my opinion, there are two things that really matter in photography, or at least my photography; finding the right place and waiting for the right light. And as I said in yesterday's photo, keep shooting once you're there, as you'll never know what photo will be the magic one.
This week I have given you a Paris shot and a sunset shot, so I figured why not give you a sunset in Paris shot. Again. I ended up being behind schedule to get to the Arc de Triomphe and I could see the sunset was developing into something quite nice. I left Anna behind and practically ran up the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. I then had to queue to get up to the top of the Arc. Needless to say I was quite anxious. On the way in I was told I wasn't allowed to use my tripod.
When I got to the top, everyone was viewing the Eiffel Tower and not paying much attention to the sunset over La Défense. I started snapping away up here for about 15 minutes. I chose the shot that just had the sun peeking through. After a while, a member of staff told me I wasn't allowed to use my tripod. I'd obviously misheard the guy at the door...
This one really does look better when viewed large and black, so please do view this in the lightbox. (Press L)

I can't help it, I don't like La Defense, mainly because it's one of worst parts in Paris to go by car.... :)

Beautiful and I agree with your comments it's the same for me and my street photography even when the subjects are different.
