Quelque rares visiteurs venus d'Asie avec la désormais traditionnelle perche à selfies...sinon c'est le désert à 19 h !

Seule la façade vers le Trocadéro est illuminée de bleu, blanc et rouge en hommage aux victimes des attentats du 13 novembre.

Les trois autres côtés ont l'éclairage normal fait par la Société SETE. Les scintillements sont suspendus en signe de deuil.

Le monument le plus identifiable à la France va devenir totalement vert pendant la COP 21 à partir de dimanche 29 novembre 2015.

I have been Paris last week and there is beautiful place.

This is Trocadero and I was sitting on the edge of the fountain thingy, drinking some water. The guy you see there approached me: "can you take a picture of me and my girlfriend?". Me: "Yeah sure". He hands me his phone. Me: "How do you want it?"

So his girlfriend is 5 meter back. He whispers, nervous as a MF-er, shaking: "I'm actually gonna propose the her. Can you record the entire thing?". Me: "Yeah sure, good luck!".

He: "is it on?". Me: "Yup". Takes out a box with a ring out of his backpack and goes down on his knee. She freaks, cries. The crowds applauses and cheers. She says 'yes'. They hug, they kiss.... Crowd go ballistic.

The rest of their life starts here. This made my trip all worth it. Same for him I guess. :) Lovely girl, lucky guy.

Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are visiting Things on Things.

I'm still getting to know my macro lens, and this was one of my experiments: I varied the ISO to get the exposure of the tower right but get rid of the background detail.

Paris, France - gargoyle and Eiffel Tower with Seine river

"A gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. The term originates from the French gargouille, originally "throat" or "gullet";[2] cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, gargula ("gullet" or "throat") and similar words derived from the root gar, "to swallow", which represented the gurgling sound of water (e.g., Spanish garganta, "throat"; Spanish gárgola, "gargoyle").

Legend of La Gargouille

French legend that sprang up around the name of St. Romanus ("Romain") (AD 631–641), the former chancellor of the Merovingian king Clotaire II who was made bishop of Rouen, relates how he delivered the country around Rouen from a monster called Gargouille or Goji. La Gargouille is said to have been the typical dragon with batlike wings, a long neck, and the ability to breathe fire from its mouth."
