EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of grandeur and national pride during the France-Bastille Day Parade. As French soldiers stand atop AMX tanks, their eyes are fixed on the sky where the Alphajet planes of the renowned "Patrouille de France" perform an awe-inspiring aerial display. The iconic Arc de Triomphe stands tall in the background, serving as a symbol of triumph and unity. On this significant day, July 14th, some 4,000 soldiers marched down the illustrious Champs-Elysees amidst heightened security measures due to potential protests against French nuclear testing in the south Pacific. However, despite these concerns, patriotism filled the air as citizens gathered to witness this traditional military parade. The photographer Pascal Guyot skillfully captures both power and grace in this vertical composition. The juxtaposition of armored tanks with agile fighter jets showcases France's military prowess while highlighting its commitment to peacekeeping efforts. This image serves as a reminder of France's rich history and enduring spirit. It encapsulates not only a celebration of Bastille Day but also pays tribute to those who have served their country with honor and valor. Through this photograph, we are transported into a moment frozen in time – one that evokes admiration for both past achievements and hope for a peaceful future.
