Description
As the sun began to set over Paris, I made my way to the Tuileries Gardens to photograph the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel at sunset. The air was warm & fragrant with the scent of flowers, & the gardens were alive with the sounds of laughter & conversation. I set up my tripod & camera, & began to take photos of the Arc de Triomphe. The monument was bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, & it stood out in sharp relief against the blue sky. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, the colors grew more intense & the sky was painted with vibrant hues of orange, pink, & red. I continued to snap photos, captivated by the changing light & the drama of the scene. The Arc de Triomphe was absolutely breathtaking, & I was grateful to have the opportunity to capture it in all its glory. As the sun disappeared behind the horizon, I packed up my gear & made my way out of the gardens, my heart full of the beauty & magic of Paris at sunset. History - The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is a triumphal arch in Paris, located in the Place du Carrousel. It is an example of Neoclassical architecture in the Corinthian order. It was built between 1806 & 1808 to commemorate Napoleon's military victories in the Wars of the Third & Fourth Coalitions. The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, at the far end of the Champs Élysées, was designed in the same year; it is about twice the size & was not completed until 1836.
