Views of the Eiffel Tower

22 10 2008

It always strikes me as odd to see all the tourists (regardless of city / sight / phenomenon) all lined up, all taking essentially the same clichéd view of famous landmarks. So on our last trip to Paris, I decided to experiment with some very different angles of La Tour d’Eiffel

As we walked further away from the Tower, I saw another angle to experiment with. I love the retro feel that black & white gives to this photo.

And last, but not least, we got a fabulous view of the Tower late in the afternoon from the Seine.

The Guggenheim gallery in Bilbao is amazing – I found the building itself to be far more intriguing, fascinating and inspiring than many of the installations inside it …
