Inspired by the Arch of Titus in Rome, Italy, the Arc de Triomphe has an overall height of 50 metres (164 ft), width of 45 m (148 ft), and depth of 22 m (72 ft), while its large vault is 29.19 m (95.8 ft) high and 14.62 m (48.0 ft) wide. The smaller transverse vaults are 18.68 m (61.3 ft) high and 8.44 m (27.7 ft) wide. Three weeks after the Paris victory parade in 1919 (marking the end of hostilities in World War I), Charles Godefroy flew his Nieuport biplane under the arch's primary vault, with the event captured on newsreel.
A couple more from yesterday's walk. Very little post on these other than leveling and a crop on the second. I actually preferred the look of the RAW over my normal process.
One.

Why, you might ask, did I shoot these at iso 800. Well, the iso setting got changed from 200 to 800 somewhere while I was fiddling with things, and I didn't notice. See? I'm not technically incompetent, just careless. Fortunately, I usually print even my 4x5 negatives smaller than 11x14.
