Wow! I love how you captured this. Not sure I would have guess it. I like this take on it. I never knew there were names on it. I even like the bird you captured in it. Thanks for sharing. :-)
The Eiffel Tower, 72 names of French scientists, engineers and other notable people are engraved on the lower level to recognize their efforts. I learned this on a guided tour I took many years ago! This is a great shot.
My guess is the Eiffel Tower as well, but only because I know you live in Paris. Otherwise, I'd probably have no idea!
Great in b&w and wonderful perspective.
Wow, how lucky you are to have such a wonderful place to walk around and photograph. I was in Europe 17 years ago, I would love to go back and with my dslr in hand, I could walk the streets for days if I was there today
I have never seen the Eiffel Tower this close up. I didn't know that it had writing on it, and I also didn't know that it had some fancier architecture on it. Thank you so much for sharing. I love learning new things, and this sure is the place to do it. I love how you cropped and colored this photo too. It's really wonderful.
I love how you took this from a completely different perspective, still can tell exactly what it is, but totally different from the million other shots out there.
What a great perspective! This is wonderful...and I've learned so much! Never knew about the writing on the side or their explanation (thanks @icywarm )... and never heard of Blackpool Tower (thanks @andycoleborn ). Great shot, Helene!
