Even when it's 100+ degrees in Paris, when you get the chance for a perfectly framed shot, you gotta stop and try to capture the beauty of the moment.
Think this was from about half way up. I really like how you cant see the top because of the fog. It was absolutely freezing and rained for the rest of the day too.
Thanks for your visit, fav, & comment (even short!) :):

La tour Eiffel, initialement nommée tour de 300 mètres, est une tour de fer puddlé construite par Gustave Eiffel et ses collaborateurs pour l'Exposition universelle de Paris de 1889. Situé à l'extrémité du parc du Champ-de-Mars, en bordure de la Seine, ce monument parisien, symbole de la capitale française, est le neuvième site le plus visité du pays en 2006 et le premier monument payant visité au monde avec 6,893 millions de visiteurs en 2007[1].
D'une hauteur de 313,2 mètres à l'origine, la tour Eiffel est restée le monument le plus élevé du monde pendant 41 ans. Sa hauteur a été plusieurs fois augmentée par l'installation de nombreuses antennes, pour culminer[2] à 324 m et 325 m depuis le 17 janvier 2005 avec l'émetteur TNT. Utilisée dans le passé pour de nombreuses expériences scientifiques, elle sert aujourd'hui d'émetteur de programmes radiophoniques et télévisés. Sa construction n’a duré que deux ans et deux mois et il y a eu un mort sur le chantier : un ouvrier italien, Angelo Scaglioti, tombé du premier étage après la fin de la construction.
The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
The Eiffel Tower is a 19th century iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris that has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The Eiffel Tower, which is the tallest building in Paris, is the single 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 for the 1889 World's Fair.
The tower stands at 324 m (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-story building. It was the tallest structure in the world from its completion until 1930, when it was eclipsed by the Chrysler Building in New York City. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France, behind the Millau Viaduct, completed in 2004. And while the Eiffel Tower is a steel structure, and weighs approximately 10,000 tonnes, it actually has a relatively low density, weighing less than a cylinder of air occupying the same dimensions as the tower.
The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend either on stairs or lifts to the first and second levels. The walk 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 only accessible by lift. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.
The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France. The tower is a featured part of the backdrop in literally scores of movies that take place in Paris. Its iconic status is so established that it even serves as a symbol for the entire nation of France, such as when it was used as the logo for the French bid to host the 1992 Summer Olympics.
From this perspective, you can see one of the supporting beams on the bottom-right of the frame.

I had a wonderful time visiting Paris during my recent trip to France and Denmark.
About this picture:
While we were walking towards the tower, we crossed this bridge over the river Seine; there was a ferry coming down from left side whose headlight hit the top of the bridge. The view through this frame looked fascinating and I didn't miss the opportunity to stand there for a moment and get this one. Comments and Critiques most welcome..
ISO - 800 used since I didn't have tripod with me :-(
