20 Sep 2021 Paris Eiffel Tower

 


At 1000 feet tall, the tallest structure in toe world for 41 years, and over 130 years old, this lady is still very impressive.  They are painting it as they have to do each 7 years.  It was a bit chilly so we chose not to go up into the tower.  We did get some great views and Laura face-timed with Jackson so he could see it as well.  I had seen images of the tower for years and years but I never realized how fancy the iron work actually is.  Bravo Mr. Eiffel!


Looking way up!


Girders everywhere


A cool carousel right next door


Looking up from the Seine, the carousel has the Eiffel Tower rising up from it.


Lots of fine detail everywhere


Its so big that I cant get the whole of it into a single picture.  This is just from the second platform up to the top.
