This type of sea defense is common in coastal areas to protect against erosion and storm surges. The blocks dissipate wave energy, reducing the impact on the shoreline.

"My thin white border is not so much a frame as a defense against Flickr's all dark background"
(DSCN2190McKenzieRiverflickr052018)
After grabbing that last shot of the towers behind the main drag at La Défense I walked past this little scene which caught my eye. I took a fairly cursory iPhone snap and continued on back to my hotel as it was about 9.30 by this point.
But while on the Metro I looked at the pic again and wasn’t happy with the smushy quality of the iPhone 11 Pro’s ultra wide lens so was agonising about whether I could be bothered enough to go all the way back and retake the same shot with my ‘proper’ camera on the tripod. I decided it was worth the inconvenience so I got off and hopped back on a train going the other way again!
I think it was worth the effort, although it took about half an hour to get back and by then they’d turned off the lights that were still illuminating the Grande Arche so I had to use some Photoshop magic to make it more visible ...
Long exposure shot at la Defense, Paris.
Here i merged 3 images for the comp, and a couple more for the car trails :-)
Thanks to Beboy for Geolocaton :-)
La Défense is a major business district near Paris, in France.
La Défense is Europe's largest purpose-built business district with 560 hectares (5.6 million square metres) area, 72 glass and steel buildings and skyscrapers, 180,000 daily workers, and 3.5 million square metres (37.7 million sq ft) of office space. Around its Grande Arche and esplanade ("le Parvis"), La Défense contains many of the Paris urban area's tallest high-rises, and is home to no fewer than 1,500 corporate head offices, including those of 15 of the top 50 companies in the world.
The district is located at the western-most extremity of the ten-kilometre-long Historical Axis of Paris, which starts at the Louvre in Central Paris, and continues along the Champs-Élysées, well beyond the Arc de Triomphe before culminating at La Défense. The district is centred in an orbital motorway straddling the Hauts-de-Seine département municipalities of Courbevoie, Nanterre and Puteaux. La Défense is primarily a business district, and hosts only a population of 25,000 permanent residents and 45,000 students. La Défense is also visited by 8,000,000 tourists each year, and houses an open-air museum.

[This was one of those images that I just had to purge myself of. It's a very personal piece--spawned from a recent and very acute heartbreak. I have found myself protecting, viciously, even, something that has perhaps long been dead. I incurred heavy damage during my time protecting this thing I have always held so dear, and yet I cling still, relentlessly.
In other, completely unrelated, news: tomorrow after work, Austin Tott and I are traveling down to Oregon to attend a massive Flickr gathering! There are nearly 50 photographers in attendance, many of whom I draw much inspiration from, and many of whom I'll be meeting in person for the first time. I'm extremely excited and also very nervous, because I'm quite an introvert. But I know this will be an amazing event, and I hope it'll be in some ways transformative. Keep your eyes open for an ORFG2013 group of some sort on here to keep up with all of the photos! There's already an instagram group for it as well.]
