When I arrived on the pont des Arts on that evening, it was already rather dark. There were lots of people idling or even having a picnic there and moreover, a fellow photographer was setting up his tripod in the middle to get the perfect alignment of the bridge and Palais de l'Institut. I therefore chose to catch him along with the shadows of the other people rather than make a straight view of the bridge.
Notice the colored lights installed for the 2012 olympics candidacy.
