La Tour Eiffel



La Tour Eiffel


I cannot count the number of photos I have taken of the Eiffel Tower, 
but it still takes my breath away like I am seeing it for the first time.


I have been to places where the hype exceeded the excitement of actually being there, 
but the Eiffel Tower marks the landscape with golden light 
as I gasp yet again and hold my breath to take the shot.

Genie... I can see it very, very clear in this image: When knowledge, effort, wisdom, patience and amazement are close to a prodigy, only one thing comes out: a beauty that elevates the spirit. Here is the proof in gold and blue!.

Congrats Genie! Thank you very much, for sharing the next million photos of Tower Eiffel. d(:-D)

I have to laugh because every time I see the tower I think of the hot mustard I encountered on the elevator coming down from my first visit. The elevator was jammed packed with people and it was the first time I had ever encountered "hot" mustard. This was NOT a pretty picture :-)

So beautiful Genie, the ET is the belle of the ball every night, a super fab image.

It is a magnificent structure, and it's probably something that one can never tire of.

Wonderful shot, Genie!

I never, ever, ever tire of the Tower. And I have no desire to go up IN it, because then I couldn't SEE it! (Well, there are a couple of other reasons, too!). This photo is stunning. In fact, it took MY breath away!

I'm in total agreement. I couldn't have described that feeling any better.

Randy said...

So beautiful.

Amanda said...

The Eiffel Tower never disappoints and for me too, it just takes my breath away!

What an incredible photo! Great composition and a perfectly colored blue sky to complement it all.
