The thing that always strikes me about the Eiffel Tower is the sheer amount of ironwork, and I tried to capture something of that in this shot.
The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl]) is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, 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[10] and the most-visited paid monument in the world; 7.1 million people ascended it in 2011. The tower received its 250 millionth visitor in 2010.
Eiffel Tower as seen from Les Invalides neighborhood. Directly behind me is a great cafe which I HIGHLY recommend: Le Cenenaire, 27 Boulevard de la Tour Maubourg. Excellent food, friendly staff and moderate prices.

The most distinctive symbol of Paris, the Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel) was much maligned by critics when it rose on the city's skyline in 1839 as part of the Universal Exhibition, but its graceful symmetry soon made it the star attraction. At 312m (1,023ft) high, it was the world's tallest building until it was surpassed by New York's Empire State Building in 1931. Despite its delicate appearance, it weighs 10.100 metric tons and engineer Guastave Eiffel's construction was so sound that it never sways more than 9cm in strong winds.

This painting was TINY! Yet it was the only one in a room full of Cezanne's, Monet's, Rembrandt's and Picasso's that was protected by a glass cabinet.
