A long night exposure captures the magic of Paris with the illuminated Eiffel Tower standing in the distance on the banks of the Seine. In the foreground, the Conciergerie with its medieval towers overlooks the river, whose waters reflect the city lights creating golden trails. The Pont au Change crosses the Seine connecting the Ile de la Cite to the right bank. The light trails of cars along the riverbank add dynamism to the composition. The Eiffel Tower, universal symbol of Paris, shines with its golden illumination and the rotating beacon on top that sweeps the night sky every hour.
