Manmade arches have been used to commemorate both people as well as historical events all throughout history. Many of them draw tourists to see their grandeur, architecture, and beauty in cities around the world. One of the most famous, of course, is the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but there are many others as well. If you visit the Colosseum in Rome, you will find the Arch of Constantine with its three arches. One of the more interesting arches that we’ve seen was Patuxai (Victory Gate) in Vientiane, Laos. All of them are truly fascinating to see and to understand the history that they memorialize.
Very interesting! It is amazing how focusing on one detail can change our perspective of an entire scene. Obvious, but cool the way that works.
Concerning the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, he is currently wrapped up in Christo’s fabrics, a different look.
Oh these are wonderful arches throughout the world. 😀 😀
Sorry for the delayed response. We have been under the weather and took some down time.
