Eiffel Tower



Many people would consider the Eiffel Tower to be the most beautiful building in the world.  Upon viewing this tremendous structure this previous summer, I was truly surprised by its great size and solid structure.  The entire form remained completely motionless despite any environmental change and its impact.  Underneath the tower, one can feel miniscule in comparison.  I personally never truly understood how large this great tourist attraction was.  At night, it is lit up and shines against the dark night sky, but during the day its structure remains a structure – it is a place for people from all over the world to congregate and appreciate.

The Eiffel Tower is beautiful from all angles.  From far away, the viewer can appreciate the complete work of art.  From underneath, the viewer can appreciate all of the inner workings.  While passing by, one can catch glimpses of more odd and unconventional angles through the spaces between the buildings that surround it.

  1. I really find your post interesting -- I lived in Paris for a year so it's nice to see someone focus a post on the Eiffel Tower You're completely right, it's so much bigger than what you would expect and the light show is amazing!
