The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. It was named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, it has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world; 6.98 million people ascended it in 2011.The tower received its 250 millionth visitor in 2010.
The tower is 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 human-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930.

Those how know me for a while might think, what the hell am I doing, posting so many pictures since I used to just put one picture of the day for my modified 365 Project.
Well, I've been delusional and full of myself by fancying myself as a photographer who produces quality work not quantity. The truth is I'm just full of crap thinking I'm all that and setting up ridiculous standards for myself. I'm just like any other ordinary person who happens to love photography and processing a lot. I'm not a professional, nor a genius, nor an artist.
I'm going to a phase that I'll just post anything that comes along that's interesting to me. Anyways, just want to get that off my chest. Don't get my wrong, I'm still full of myself, just try to lessen it a bit.
And now, another cliche shot of the Eiffel Tower.
my brother brought me back this eiffel tower from his trip to Paris and Italy he was on for the last two weeks.
Everyone wants to get a "new" take on a classic monument. Something different. Something unique. How's this? Buy an Eiffel Tower dress in Bangkok, Thailand and fly it to Paris, get up at the crack of dawn, put on the dress and beat feet to the Eiffel Tower to beat the crowds so no one sees you in it. Then take a bunch of snaps and post one on Flickr! :))
