Rolls-Royce and Arc de Triomphe
p.1 #1Rolls-Royce and Arc de Triomphe
We were at the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile when I saw this old car coming around the circle and was lucky enough to have no other cars around it. Turns out is was a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. A lucky day in Paris for me.

Thanks Bill, I was lucky as the camera was set to single shot, the next frame the car is not in a good position.

Thanks, the auto being white adds so much to the feel of the image for me.

Very cool shot! The B/W add to the timelessness, as nothing in the image suggests that this was taken in the 2020’s era.

Thanks Dan, I was very lucky to have seen it coming and then have no other cars at the moment. I also get a sense of time from the image.

Yes outstanding Patrick! Where are all the other cars?
Great timing and beautiful tones! Agree with DanC on the era-esque of the image.

The age of the car make the entire image appear from sometime in the 60's. Excellent image Patrick!

Looks like a "classic" shot...It could be in a magazine.
