The Eiffel Bridge was constructed where four rivers meet. Girona has got eleven bridges!! The most famous is the one that was constructed by Gustave Eiffel just before the construction of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Cross the Onyar and go to a commercial street.

An old view of this favorite icon.
I interviewed my former thesis adviser for the Debussy film today, tried to find a good place to fix my car, and attended the reopening of the Austin Studios with Robert Rodriguez and Richard Linklater.
I wish I had brought my camera.
Time to dig into the Debussy editing now.

Another photo of the Eiffel Tower after sunset from the dome at Sacre Coeur. Here, the lighting of the tower and the skies was stunning.. so glad i stayed just that little bit longer.
As Paris geared up for the 2024 Olympics, the Eiffel Tower takes centre stage, proudly adorned with the Olympic rings. A symbol of unity and excellence, the rings light up the iconic structure against the twilight sky, blending the city's timeless elegance with the excitement of modern global festivities. The Seine flows quietly below, reflecting both history and the promise of new memories to be made.
so for spring break, i somehow got to go to paris, which is also the first time i got to go to europe (because we happened to have all that mileage, and cause my dad had a business trip there)... YEEEE
slightly over edited in my opinion, but it brings the contrast out so yeah.we had the best weather ever out there in europe and i'm so so glad i didn't forget to bring my charger or memory card since both have happened to me before in bad bad times.
i'ma upload more photos from paris soon (;

The Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower was built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, which was to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the French Revolution.
Its construction in 2 years, 2 months and 5 days was a veritable technical and architectural achievement.
"Utopia achieved", a symbol of technological prowess, at the end of the 19th Century it was a demonstration of French engineering personified by Gustave Eiffel, and a defining moment of the industrial era.
It was met immediately with tremendous success.
Only intended to last 20 years, it was saved by the scientific experiments that Eiffel encouraged, and in particular by the first radio transmissions, followed by telecommunications.
For example, the radio signals from the Pantheon Tower in 1898; it served as a military radio post in 1903; it transmitted the first public radio programme in 1925, and then broadcast television up to TNT more recently.
Since the 1980s, the monument has regularly been renovated, restored and adapted for an ever-growing public.
The Eiffel Tower—or as the French call it, La Tour Eiffel—is one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks. The tower was designed as the centerpiece of the 1889 World's Fair in Paris and was meant to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution and show off France’s modern mechanical prowess on a world stage.
Mission: accomplished! The tower was built by Gustave Eiffel’s civil engineering firm in two years, two months, and five days, using 7,500 tons of iron and 2.5 million rivets. The end result of Eiffel’s hard work dominates the Parisian skyline and its stark silhouette has been emulated around the world in China, Las Vegas, Greece, and, of course, Paris, Texas.

The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, nickname La dame de fer, the iron lady) is a puddle iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. Built in 1889, it has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest building in Paris[10] and the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair.
The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. However, due to the addition, in 1957, of the antenna atop the Eiffel Tower, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France, after the Millau Viaduct.
The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend, by stairs or lift, to the first and second levels. The walk from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by elevator. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.
The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.
a landmark of Paris - the Eiffel Tower... i was lucky enough to have been able to spend some time around the tower and to take a few shots in the evening... it was not easy as there were plenty of people around, pushing and jostling for a good vantage point... however, i managed to secure a great spot on the Esplanade du Trocadero overlooking the fountains and the tower itself...

My goal in Paris was to get one shot of the Eiffel Tower that I haven’t really seen before. Success! I absolutely love how everything is falling over in opposing directions
This is a shot from a few years ago in my early days as a photographer. I was surprised to see I hadn't uploaded it yet.
As you can tell at the time I was in a bit of an HDR habit, which is a habit I have kicked over the couple of years since then.
I feel like as a new generation of photographers we all go through a little "HDR phase" about a year or so into our careers. We get frustrated that we're not getting what we see/want out of that heavy dynamic light, and we see these HDR shots that look cool, and dive right in. Then we keep growing and learn how to get what we want out of single exposures or through manually blending exposures for a more natural, less "crunchy" look.
That's not to say that I have anything against what we currently refer to as HDR (even though the name has now taken to a "style" moreso than its original actual definition) as I appreciate each photographer doing what speaks to them and some of it comes out very impressive. It's not my style any more, but this is one of mine that I had leftover from those days that I still actually quite like.
It also has an interesting story to go with it. My wife and I took a month off before a big move to travel. We spent most of our trip in Ireland and Italy (Amalfi), but decided to take a few days when traveling between the two to stop in London and Paris. We had only about a day and a half in each, and as luck would have it we ended up getting very sick (food poisoning) in London.
The sickness really hit us on the day where we traveled between London and Paris, which was pretty miserable. The next day was our only full day in Paris, and we still felt very ill. But we were determined to get out and at least see a couple of the highlights. We were able to hold down a single piece of bread each and made our way around, ending our short trip at the Eiffel Tower. We had more planned, but we were beaten. So we laid out on the grass there, and didn't move for hours. I set my tripod as low as it would go as I could not stand to sit up, and shot away with my camera. It provided an interesting perspective from down on the ground and, as an added bonus, were we feeling better we probably would have left before what ended up being an absolutely amazing sunset.
All of these things combined mean that, despite representing a style that I no longer really use, this remains one of my favorite photos of days gone by.
This photo was taken in Paris on March 22nd 2016. The Eiffel tower had the colors of the Belgian flag (black-yellow-red) after the terror attack in Brussels that happened the same day. 32 people were killed and 340 people were injured in the attack...
PA_1431 [100 points]
Hiding up in the clouds, PA_1431 is the highest space invader ever placed in Paris. It landed on the top of the Eiffel Tower in November 2019 where it enjoys the great view !
Since the news Invader invaded the top of the Tour Eiffel I had the plan to visit the top of this tower. Then we had the covid-19 pandemic and it was not possible to visit the top of this tower to gain 100 points at an altitude of 281 meters.
