Bonjour!

I’ve been in France for a few days and this morning I passed this well-known spot on my way somewhere else. I can resist anything except temptation, so…

Taken with my phone.

I reckon that with the sun a few degrees to the right so that the shadows are aligned you could make a good go at mimicking the original reflections with shadows, if someone jumped in front of the traffic.

Fantastic! I'll show it to my students tomorrow to compare it with the
original.
Lisa and I will be in London next week, if you happen to be on that

Yes, it's a great shot.

For us philistines, could someone post a link to the original?

Excellent!  Thanks.

That is actually the photo I would have guessed, but I had no idea of
the name.
