Took advantage of a business trip to spend a day playing tourist in Paris on Saturday. Apart from the usual touristy / Eiffel Tower shots (I may bore you with those later in another thread), I went out to the La Defense complex, where there's a lot of modern architecture. On a nice sunny day, there were some fabulous reflections to be had, and a lot of 'interesting' buildings to ponder over.
This one looks like it swallowed the starship Enterprise:

Lots of people sneer at La Defense as a modernistic "cultural wasteland" compared to the rest of Paris, and possibly it is, but for photographers there's a lot to catch the eye, and it's worth a few hours of your time if you're ever in the area.
