Some have sunsets on the lagoon; I have sunset on the Seine River. On

the Asni貥s bridge, a westbound regional train; in the background,

the sun goes down between the towers of La D馥nse business district...

picture... Full of emotion and a bit of sadness. Reminds me of a great photographer that took many pictures of Paris (Izis is the name). The only disturbing thing is the line of the bridge that is not parallel to the horizon, I would maybe just turn a bit clockwise

Thanks for your comment. The Semflex camera seems to be pretty good for capturing this kind of mood - probably because of the older, basically uncoated Som Berthiot lenses. See this one, for instance.

The problem with this bridge: it is not perpendicular to the river. Which means that, had I tilted the camera (or, during post processing, the image itself) to compensate those 3 or 4 degrees, the verticals would not have been quite vertical anymore. If you look at the various poles, you'll note that they are perfectly straight - which was not hard to achieve: the camera was comfortably sitting on the handrail of the next bridge down the river.
