Paris skyline and Palais de Chaillot

August 30, 2008 : Hit Explore at #308 for August 26, 2008!! Yay!!

 

Straight from the camera with no modifications.

 

I'm so happy with this image that even if it doesn't make it to explore, I wouldn't be bothered.

 

This is the first of my Paris series, taken from the top of the Eiffel Tower, on a bitterly cold evening. The wind was howling, I had my old Canon S50, and flimsy protection from the weather. The wind got even more ferocious at the upper tier of the tower, and while shivering badly, I managed to take a few pictures...this is one of the few that survived the trembling and the resulting camera shake :-)

 

Of half a dozen shots, this seems to capture the vibrant, beautiful city with its lights. I love the sky, and its diversity. There is a lot going on in this shot - enjoy!
