The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, France, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the centre of Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly named Place de l'Étoile—the étoile or "star" of the juncture formed by its twelve radiating avenues.
During the recent (10/10/24) geomagnetic storm and associated aurora event, we noticed a band of red rising from the west that was stationary, quite different from the pillars of color moving across the northern sky. This red band appears to have been a rare appearance of a stable auroral red (SAR) arc.
Unlike the aurora which are generated by solar particles raining down on Earth's atmosphere, SAR are generated by extreme thermal and kinetic heating from energy conducted from the magnetic/ electrical field around Earth to the ionosphere, the outermost atmospheric layer. SAR arcs appear as relatively stationary east-west arcs.
Note the two radio antennae in the foreground, part of a NOAA installation north of Boulder Colorado, as well as the Milky Way cutting across the bottom of the SAR.

Der Arc de Triomf (katalanisch für Triumphbogen) war das Haupteingangstor für die Weltausstellung von 1888 in Barcelona. Architekt war Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas.
Er befindet sich am nordöstlichen Ende der Altstadt Barcelonas am Beginn der breiten Promenade Passeig de Lluís Companys, die zum Parc de la Ciutadella führt. Dieser Park beherbergte 1888 die Weltausstellung.
Der Bogen wurde in rötlicher Ziegelbauweise im Neo-Mudéjarstil errichtet. Seine Höhe beträgt etwa 30 Meter. Der Front-Fries zeigt die Steinskulptur Barcelona rep les nacions (katalanisch für „Barcelona empfängt die Nationen“) von Josep Reynés. Der gegenüberliegende Fries zeigt eine Steinmetzarbeit mit dem Namen Recompense, eines der ersten Werke von Josep Llimona. Beide Arbeiten kosteten zur damaligen Zeit jeweils 3.270 Peseten.
Der Oberteil des Bogens ist mit den Wappen von Barcelona sowie aller spanischer Provinzen dekoriert. Diese Arbeit stammt von Torquat Tassó und Antoni Vilanova.
The Arc de Triomf (Catalan for triumphal arch) was the main entrance gate for the 1888 World Exhibition in Barcelona. The architect was Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas.
It is located at the northeast end of Barcelona's old town at the beginning of the wide promenade Passeig de Lluís Companys, which leads to the Parc de la Ciutadella. This park hosted the 1888 World Exhibition.
The arch was built in reddish brick in the Neo-Mudejar style. It is about 30 meters high. The front frieze shows the stone sculpture Barcelona rep les nacions (Catalan for "Barcelona receives the nations") by Josep Reynés. The opposite frieze shows a stone carving called Recompense, one of the first works by Josep Llimona. Both works cost 3,270 pesetas each at the time.
The upper part of the arch is decorated with the coats of arms of Barcelona and all Spanish provinces. This work is by Torquat Tassó and Antoni Vilanova.

The cranes around the structure were a little bit of a disappointment - especially when we visited the monument itself.
The construction was due to the preparations for the monument to be wrapped - which it currently is for another week.

A hill I've been up many times using different routes and in different weathers. However Loch Skeen always looks its best when there is some snow on the hills. Sunlight was in short supply this day but the lochs graced here by an arc of light.
As each wave came into shore it formed an arc matching the adjacent coastline. I’d already chosen my foreground interest it was now down to timing the right wave. Sometimes photography is so hypnotic.
