Rush!

Traffic in Paris is something to see. There doesn't seem to be any rules, and you wonder how on earth they don't crash all the time. But I guess you learn in a while the rules of the jungle and get a grip of how it works. This view is from top of Arc de Triomphe at rush-hour (if there is such a thing in Paris). Sim City has a long way to go. The fog was there all the day, and it gave this photo a good deep look. Great test for the G1 lens, and it looks really good. Here's a G1 VIDEO of the traffic earlier that day. It shows how logically the cars exit the traffic circle.

"There doesn't seem to be any rules, and you wonder how on earth they don't crash all the time." You do not know the worse places.. It looks pretty ok to me comparing to what I saw before...
