About this picture

The Porte d’Orient, or The Oriental Door) - represents the thousands of French-African Colonial soldiers who left from the shores of Marseille to fight in the the Orient during World War I. This marked an important and significant moment in my journey through and across Europe on my bike. I had just cycled the length of France, and subsequently collapsed in an exhausted heap infront of the arch after I took this photo.
