Paris - The Golden Statues of Palais de Chaillot at Morning Twilight

Palais de Chaillot, Trocadero - Paris, France.

 

This is my second time to do this -- climb on top of the platform where these statues are, and even this time around it was still exciting, especially doing it before sunrise when most of the city was still asleep. I know this is a popular vantage point but I don't remember posting one on my stream, so here you go.

 

The Palais de Chaillot is above all famous for its spectacular view on the Eiffel tower, facing it on the left bank of the Seine river. It was designed for the 1937 world exhibition which was also the last Paris colonial exhibition.
