About the photo

I remember that evening we went off with my wife on a walk in Paris. Just My wife and I in a city of love. We went from our airbnb on Rue Saint-Marc to Eiffel Tower and back stopping on the beautiful spots on the way. Here is Place du Carrousel with Carrousel Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower on the background. It is right in front of Louvre Pyramid. It was after the rain and there was beautiful colorful reflections on the ground. I had stuck there for probably 10 minutes trying to catch the right light traces from the buses.

About the place

(wikipedia)

The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is a triumphal arch in Paris, located in the Place du Carrousel. It was built between 1806 and 1808 to commemorate Napoleon's military victories of the previous year. The monument is 63 feet (19 m) high, 75 feet (23 m) wide, and 24 feet (7.3 m) deep. The 21 feet (6.4 m) high central arch is flanked by two smaller ones, 14 feet (4.3 m) high, and 9 feet (2.7 m) wide. Around its exterior are eight Corinthian columns of marble, topped by eight soldiers of the Empire.
