Shot on top of the Grande Arche in La Defense, the business center of Paris. At that time it was almost one o'clock. Most people were eating outside or going to a place to have lunch. On the top right you see world map on the floor. Pretty remarkable. If you would be able to zoom in you would see much more detail.
TECH-INFO: one RAW file. I used the same HDR techniques as in the previous posted image. The only reason was to rebalance the lighting so that the shadow part wouldn't be too dark. Afterwards I increased the contrast, globally and on several small spots like signs, some windows, glass and the world map on the floor.

I didn't like this when I saw the small photo in my reader, but when I saw this version I really like it. Reminds me of Koyaanisquatsi. Or SimCity, oddly enough.
