The iconic Eiffel tower

Hit explore at #441 on Sep 9, 2008!

 

no modifications - straight from the camera. View large to see the foglights

 

Guess no trip to Paris is complete without seeing the tower.

 

Legend has it that the tower is also used as a lighthouse on cold, dark nights :-).

 

The bright overexposed area in the middle had lights marking the now-failed bid for 2012 Olympics. The street lamps, going under the tower, are 20 feet high..so that gives you an idea of its size!
