Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile

It was quite tricky to take a picture of this arc at night without a tripod and without the moving cars in the way.
   Eiffel Tower

Eiffel Tower

Most pictures of the Eiffel Tower appear to be taken from a boring head-on perspective. I found this angle much more interesting.
Glowing Men

Glowing Men

These glowing men were very unique pieces of art in Nice, France. They came in different colours.
