I'm getting older today and I was looking for a photo for that event. This is it !

Bubble lights and the Tower

Eiffel Tower one more

I can't resist showing another view taken from the Eiffel Tower. Here is the Seine, the Alexender III bridge and the Concorde Square.

Shadow on the city

This week-end I went to the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower, something that Parisians seldom do. The view is always so magic and we had the chance to have a perfect clear weather. The light was going down and the tower'shadow on the city added beauty to the scenery.

Building hat

It's been a long time since I didn't post a picture of the Tower. This view is taken from the 16th arrondissement on the other side of the Seine river. The Tower seems to stand on top of the building like a hat.

Happy 120th birthday !

Sunset on the Tower to celebrate her 120th birthday as the Eiffel Tower 's official opening took place on march 31st 1889.

Today is also the start day for her 19th period of painting. The Eiffel tower is totally repainted every 7 years and this year is will be her 17th period of painting. One year, and more than 60 tons of paint will be nedded.

In 2008 the Tower had her record number of visitors with 6 930 000 which makes her the most visited monument in France and one of the most in the world.

Even if I have the chance to see her a lot, I never get tired of looking at her.

She was blue

During the last 3 months of 2008, she was dressed in blue to celebrate the French Presidency of the E.U.

I thought these photos would be nice as the first ones for this new blog.
