This is moonset above the Rue de Rivoli in Paris. I returned to this same spot about an hour later hoping to capture an even lower moon, but it had moved behind the buildings by then.
You'll note that the picture was taken from the middle of the street. Gosh, Kevin, didn't you have to dodge a lot of cars just standing out there like that? Yes I did. I'd look around, scurry to the median strip with my tripod, take a picture, and then scurry back. Sometimes I didn't scurry fast enough, but despite what you read about Parisian drivers they actually will try to avoid running you over if it's not too much trouble.
In any case, these are the sacrifices we make for our art.
Anyone who has ever been to Paris you know that pedestrians give zero fucks. You probably didn't even look the least bit strange except for the camera.
Were you in the 1st? Or the 4th?
One of my favorite spots.
When I was there, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Parisians almost always do stop for pedestrians.
No street art to be found except this picture is art of the street!
