Dramatic sunset panorama of Paris - Tour Montparnasse

            After a day at work in Paris, and having had the good idea to bring camera and tripod with me, I decided to go on the top of Tour Montparnasse in order to get the best panoramic view of Paris at sunset. Day was bad, raining all afternoon, but I saw on radar websites that it should improve at sunset, so I did.
Well, to be honest, never I'd have had expected such conditions. The sky started to turn on all the colors on the palette and I got one of the most beautiful sunset of my life, at the same time being at the right place to enjoy and capture it.

So here is the result, no post treatment other than slight work on saturation and highlights, this picture is exactly what I saw, and it was just gorgeous, I was breathless.
