“L’âme n’aurait pas d’arc-en-ciel, si les yeux n’avaient pas de larmes.”
De John Vance Cheney / Larmes
One of my goals on this trip was to take a long exposure night shot at the Place Charles de Gaulle/Étoile.
Apparently, the Arc de Triomphe was getting some kind of makeover; the side facing Avenue des Champs-Élysées had a scaffold on its left relief and the side facing Avenue de la Grande-Armée had scaffolding and photos of the reliefs covering the actual reliefs.
I attempted a few shots anyway and liked this silly one best--the Eiffel Tower in the distance, with its night light spinning in the sky, appears to be washing the monument.
The Claerwen dam was finished in 1952 and was given a late Victorian effect so that it blended in with the earlier dams in the valley. It was necessary to employ the services of Italian stonemasons as British ones were still at work in London during the post-war rebuilding process of the late 1940s.
Did you know the Reservoirs are a chain chain of man-made lakes, and are often referred to as the Welsh Lake District.
The five lakes are known as the Claerwen, Craig-goch, Pen-y-garreg, Garreg-ddu, and Caban-coch.
The Pont d'Arc is a large natural bridge, located in the Ardèche département in the south of France, 5 km from the town of Vallon-Pont-d'Arc. The arch, carved out by the Ardèche River, is 60 m wide and 54 m high.
*Arc en Ciel:

Memory is very important, the memory of each photo taken, flowing at the same speed as the event. During the work, you have to be sure that you haven’t left any holes, that you’ve captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.

Quoi de mieux, une fois la pluie repartie, que de replier et ranger son parapluie bariolé ?

One of the most famous monuments in Paris. It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées.
I had to put my Nikon almost into the puddle to get this reflection:

From Wickipedia:The Arc de Triomphe is a monument in Paris that stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, also known as the Place de l'Étoile.[1] Officially, it is the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, as a smaller Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel exists nearby. It is located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. The triumphal arch honours those who fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. On the inside and the top of the arc there are all of the names of generals and wars fought. Underneath is the tomb of the unknown soldier from World War I. (Axe historique) — a sequence of monuments and grand thoroughfares on a route which goes from the courtyard of the Louvre Palace to the outskirts of Paris. The monument was designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806, and its iconographic program pitted heroically nude French youths against bearded Germanic warriors in chain mail. It set the tone for public monuments, with triumphant nationalistic messages, until World War I.
The monument stands 50 m (160 ft) in height, 45 m (148 ft) wide and 22 m (72 ft) deep. The large vault is -29.19 m (−95.8 ft) high and 14.62 m (48.0 ft) wide. The small vault is 18.68 m (61.3 ft) high and 8.44 m (27.7 ft) wide. It is the second largest triumphal arch in existence.[2] Its design was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus. The Arc de Triomphe is so colossal that three weeks after the Paris victory parade in 1919, marking the end of hostilities in World War I, Charles Godefroy flew his Nieuport biplane through it, with the event captured on newsreel.[3][4][5]

Ook Montpellier heeft een triomfboog. Sinds juli 2016 is die weer per tram bereikbaar via de nieuwe verbinding tussen de haltes Observatoire en Place Albert 1er. Inderdaad 'weer', want de eerste elektrische trams reden al in 1897 in dit stukje voormalige vestinggracht
Montpellier has a triumphal arch too. Since July 2016 you can get here by tram again via the new link between Observatoire and Place Albert 1er. This street, a former moat, saw the first electric trams in 1897
A standing wave of clouds arcs across the sky above the Sierra Nevada mountains on a cool fall morning. Standing within the ancient Long Valley Caldera, a fog bank from Lake Crowley has become unmoored from the water by the young day’s sunlight, as the rising temperature chases it away into oblivion along the valley floor. Along the broad arc of the clouds, a nearly repeating pattern can be seen almost achieving a defined Kelvin–Helmholtz pattern. After photographing the sunrise from up on the mountain slopes I circled around looking for other views of the fog and the clouds where I found this composition. The layer of fog was not long for the world as the heat of the new day erased it. Here it was already a fraction of its original might.
