City of Lights - Paris, FR

What an amazing view! With a little research and advice, I found the perfect vantage point for watching (and photographing) the Parisian sunset. I had two opportunities to go to this location, and I didn’t want to take a chance of missing something good. I’m glad I did, because the 2nd night in Paris was perfectly cloudless. There was absolutely nothing interesting about the sky.

There were challenges, though. The rooftop of this building was closed, so I had to photograph the cityscape through a fairly dirty window as well as dealing with reflections from the indoor lights and the crowds trying to push up to the windows. It was all worth the effort.
