EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking aerial view captured by Gonzalo Fuentes, the iconic Invalides and Arc de Triomphe take center stage during the traditional Bastille Day celebrations in Paris on July 14,2013. The photograph beautifully showcases these architectural marvels against a backdrop of a vibrant cityscape. The Invalides, with its golden dome gleaming under the summer sun, stands as a symbol of French military history and houses Napoleon Bonaparte's tomb. Its grandeur is matched only by the majestic Arc de Triomphe, an enduring tribute to France's triumphs and fallen heroes. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to the heart of Paris on one of its most significant national holidays. Bastille Day commemorates the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789—a pivotal moment that marked the beginning of the French Revolution. From above, we witness thousands gathered along Champs-Élysées, eagerly awaiting parades and festivities that will unfold throughout the day. The streets below buzz with excitement as locals and tourists alike come together to celebrate their shared heritage. Fuentes' masterful composition captures not only these historic landmarks but also encapsulates a sense of unity and pride felt by all who call Paris home. It serves as a timeless reminder that even from great heights, traditions like Bastille Day continue to connect people across generations while honoring France's rich cultural legacy.
