I wonder what it must be like to live in a city so rich with history, where a monument like the Arc de Triomphe is a part of your every day life. It seems every corner you turn in Paris, there are majestic buildings to look up at in wonder. Every time I take a picture I wonder why I bother, because nothing I capture comes close to the real beauty. But, here are some pictures anyway, from ground level and up top, as inadequate as they may be.
