The Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui, Syn: Cynthia cardui) is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.

The Iron Lady is the most common nickname for the Eiffel Tower.

 

While the name, the “Eiffel Tower”, entered the common language at the time of its inauguration, its female nature appeared more gradually over the 20th century. Of course, it can be traced back to the fact that the noun “tour” or tower in French is feminine. And if we add a bit of anthropomorphism, we can see that the monument’s four pillars, also known as legs or feet, are covered with a lacy “skirt”, from the mesh structure enhanced with fine decorative arches between the pillars.

As a symbol of the arrival of iron, industry and science, the Eiffel Tower can also be seen to be in an atypical conversation with another lady of Paris, her Gothic older sister and symbol of religion, Notre-Dame.

 

In the 1930s, when the Tower was nearing 50 years old, various nicknames flourished in the press and publications: “the Tall Lady”, “the Tall Beautiful Lady”, then “the Tall Iron Lady”, sometimes, remarking on her age, it was “the Old Iron Lady”... However, it was simply “the Iron Lady” which stuck and was picked up particularly by the press.

Thank you for the visits and lovely comment's my friends...

Sarakiniko beach in the island of Milos is a volcanic location that attracts many influencers. The lady in red was posing for another photographer early in the day. I took this image at 105mm from the opposite side of the rocky beach.

I don't want summer to end without posting a butterfly. Here is a Painted Lady, and as you can see it was well aware that I was taking its photograph. How lucky we are to be able to observe with our macro lens their tiny lives.

 

Butterflies have been the inspiration of so many fairy tales and fantastic stories, and there are so many more things that I can say about them, but for now I'm going to stop there :)

I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!

 

The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!
