The Paris Open

We were in Paris while the tennis was on and that's why there is a giant tennis ball hanging on the Eiffel Tower. We climbed the stairs up to the second level viewing platform. It was quite an effort to get there but at least we could take the lift down.

We've been home for over a week and things have probably settled down enough to start posting again. I hope to catch up with you all, thanks for commenting while I was away.

@annied Thanks Annie, just hope I don't take forever to catch up with everyone.

@bella_ss all you need do is catch up with yourself - the rest will follow

Great shot! Lets hope the EU doesn't make it illegal to share photos of (copyrighted) monuments like the Eiffeltower on the internet illegal.

[Joan Robillard]

Cool shot.

[Jo]

Really cool shot.

[Babs]

Fabulous shot and good to have you back. You certainly sound as though you had a great time.

[Nicole Campbell]

We climbed down the tower as the wait for the lift was too long. Hope you had a great trip.

[Kerri]

[Taffy]

This is an amazing shot -- just walking along the street and there's the iconic Eiffel Tower, just there. WOW! Welcome home -- looking forward to your photos from the trip. And thanks for the catch on my 6 word story title. That was embarrassing!

@annied thanks Annie, good advice :)

[Sheralee S]

@marcoh thanks Marco, isn't it all rubbish?! Everyone is getting far too precious these days.

[Sheralee S]

@nicolecampbell we were so lucky as there was a line up and then we were told to go to the other lift and went straight down :)

[Sheralee S]

@taffy thanks so much Taffy and we can't help being human :)

[Sheralee S]

@radiogirl thank you Kathy, I look forward to seeing all the shots I've missed.

[Peter Grave]

Welcome home Sheralee.Lovely capture.Graham Harris just got back and said the scenery was good in Paris but the city left a bit to be desired.

[Rachel]

Welcome back! It looks like you had a great time. Lovely shot.

[KWind]

Wonderfully composed! I'll never forget my trip to the top of the tower! A beautiful place!

[bkb in the city]

Great shot

[Dione Giorgio]

Wonderful capture of this iconic tower of Paris. We went straight up to the top (by lift, of course) when we visited Paris years ago. The 360degree view from up there is breathtaking.

[☠northy]

very cool :)

[Gena Pegg]

LOVE IT!!!! Awesome pov and creative.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

It always a thrill to see an image of this iconic structure.

[Elizabeth]

Wonderful shot of the tower and gardens! Last time I was in Paris I climbed to the top in 3- inch heels. They kept getting caught in the mesh flooring so finally I just took them off and went up barefoot. The view was worth it.
