Original – The Capitole and its square at night
Reason
Good EV. The Capitole (French for "capitol") is the heart of the municipal administration of the French city of Toulouse, the town's hôtel de ville. The town hall was supposedly located on the spot where St. Saturninus was martyred. The bishop was said to have been tied to the legs of a bull, which was driven down the steps of the town's capitol, causing his head to be dashed open.

Actually, the foreground has excellent EV, because its shaped as an Occitan cross. The main focus is the square, however. So I'd say a glimpse into a part of the cross is actually a bonus. Étienne Dolet (talk) 19:39, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Half as much foreground, half as much Occitan cross. Sca (talk) 16:50, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
