Standing in the middle of the Champs Elysee, Paris, at rush hour isn't for the faint hearted, as the traffic rushes by at breakneck speed.
This is the classic view up the Champs Elysee to the Arc de Triomphe, with La Grande Arch de la Defense visible in the background.
A longish shutter speed has been used here, with the camera on a tripod, to blur the traffic head and tail lights and add some dynamism to an otherwise static scene.
