Travel Snapshot – Triumphal Arch, Paris (Arc De Triomphe)

A snapshot of Arc De Triomphe (Triumphal Arch) in Paris, from underneath looking upward. This is something different from what you’ve seen normally. This 50m high monument was built in 1830s, to honour those who fought for France during the Napoleonic Wars. Those names inscribed on the inside walls are French generals involved in wars. I took this travel photo on my recent Europe travel to Paris and some other parts of Western Europe.

Technical Data: Nikon D60 with Tamron SP10-24mm, ISO 100, shutter speed 1/125s, Aperture F5.6 at 10mm focal length, No flash, sRGB color space.
