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.

La Tour Eiffel - le reflet

 

La Tour Eiffel

Do you think that you would recognize this iconic structure 

just by seeing a reflection in the rain-soaked pavement?

Why, certainly!

Les Fontaines

The Fountain of Warsaw

Between the Palais de Chaillot at Trocadero and the Seine is a garden designed by Jean-Charles Alphand for the Exposition Universelle (1878).  This array of magnificent fountains was created by Roger-Henri Expert for the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in 1937.  

If you come in the evening to see the sparkling Eiffel tower, 

you can enjoy the lighted display of these cascading fountains.
