Stephen Wilkes: Pont de la Tournelle, Paris - Day to Night

Paris is known as the city of lights, magical during the day, and especially at night. Standing on the Pont de la Tournelle bridge, this image was photographed for over 20 hours, capturing the beautiful Isle Saint Louis along with the eclectic mix of people walking along the riverbank of the Seine. Particularly striking is the magnificence of Notre Dame a glow at night. This has now become an historic photographic memory because of the tragic fire in April 2019. Thankfully through the generous support from people around the world, and the French government, Notre Dame will be rebuilt, and its brilliance will continue to glow for generations.
