Taken with 18x telephoto lens from the top of the Arc de Triomphe, this shot squeezes in a lot of familiar Paris, with even more suggested here and there in the middle. There’s a corner of the Louvre, the dome of Invalides, Notre Dame at center, and several other spires.

Well, I almost said Les Invalides, then saw it in the tags. Is that Ste-Chapelle between Notre Dame and the Louvre?
I had friends who lived across the road from the Grand Palais and recognized the roof, but couldn’t remember the name. I guess after 48 years some blanks are understandable.
Yes, it certainly is (the pierced tower).
And in the lower right foreground, a corner of the roof of the Grand Palais.
Think of them as opportunities for refill!
