Ebony Birch-Hanger, LIGHT AND SHADE (March theme: Buildings)

Taken from the top of the Arch de Triomph, Paris. I was captured by the stark lighting contrast between the lightness of the buildings and the dark shadows over the streets - highlighting the triangular/pyramid shape of the buildings between the roads leading from the famous landmark.
