Day 90: La Tour Eiffel
Start of week 4 since the big move, and I still haven’t posted any photo of famous Parisian landmark, so this evening, after work, I took some time to traverse west of the city in order to grab a photo of the infamous La Tour Eiffel by night. It was a rather impromptu decision, so I don’t have my mini tripod with me to help steady the shot. This turned out reasonably well but the sparkly version, not so great.
I took the bus to cross the city and it makes sense – no métro changes plus I get to see the view above ground. The 7th arrondissement used to be sort of my “home” ground in Paris, and as we passed some of the more familiar streets, I started to feel all very nostalgic of the neighbourhood. I should try to come back more often, and find time to get to Champs-Elysées somehow. I may have been travelling in and out of the city (and now all moved here) but it has been a very long time since I was at the stylish thoroughfare. 2-3 years perhaps?
lovely…and not the first time a good night shot without a tripod lil…u got pretty steady hands hehe ;)
it helps i avoided chicken feet like plague :p
Moving to Paris is a dream of mine. The tower never ceases to awe. Great photo!
thanks, and i hope it comes true for you bethany :)
the eiffel tower! :) i think when you move somewhere you tend not to go to the “fashionable” places. when i lived in boston i only ever went to those places when friends were visiting and i took them there. ;)
but i’ve not even been here for a while even before moving to the city… but yes, with visitors, it’ll be time enough to visit all the sights, over, and over, and over. ;)
