When I was in Paris I saw the Eiffel Tower from many points around the city. I started to watch for all the different places I could catch glimpses of this monument from parks and streets and at different times of the day. Here are some of my impressions.
Look up and you can see it!

From the Jardin des Tuileries…
I saw this early in the morning.

Somebody was sure to do La Tour Eiffel, Meg, so it might as well be you. :) I like the way it’s leaning on those cream buildings (a leaning tower!) and that last shot is wonderful.

We noticed that in Paris, too. It seemed like every picture had the Eiffel Tower somewhere in the background. More recently, we’ve visited Tybee Island and searched for the lighthouse wherever we wandered. It wasn’t quite as visible as the Eiffel Tower, though.

I didn’t even realize that the Eiffel Tower was in the picture from the Jardin des Tuileries until much later! That lighthouse on Tybee Island is beautiful… :)

I like the idea of seeing it from different places. Really neat interpretation. Love the garden photo and the last photo.
The only time I went to Paris was in 1985. Unbeknownst to me, the day I choice to go up in the Eiffel Tower it was closed because President Mitterand was having dinner at the restaurant there…

The last photo is very special, Meg. I think this was a very clever way to document your visit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else take the care to find the Eiffel Tower quite like you did–almost like finding the hidden image in the photo. Loved it!
