Description

Busy nighttime street scene in Paris on a rainy evening. The time exposure allowed for blurred white and green lights of a Metro train approaching the Passy station near the Eiffel Tower while pedestrians walk across the Bir-Hakeim bridge on the lower platform. Apartments and a moody sky complete the background.

The Bir-hakeim bridge is a popular destination for photographers and tourists alike due to the unique views of the Eiffel Tower and Seine River.

The bridge has two levels: one for motor vehicles and pedestrians, the other being a viaduct (Viaduc de Passy) built above the first one, through which passes Line 6 of the Paris Métro. The railway viaduct is supported by metal colonnades, except where it passes over the Île aux Cygnes, where it rests on a masonry arch. Many commemorative plates decorate the viaduct bridge, including several dedicated to soldiers fallen in Belgium during the Second World War.
