Photographer’s Note
Petřínská rozhledna (Petřín lookout tower) in Prague...resembles at the Paris' Eiffel Tower. Some more info from Wikipedia:
In 1889, members of The Club of Czech Tourists visited world exposition in Paris and got inspired by the Eifel Tower. Later, they collected a sufficient amount of money and in March 1891 the building of the tower started. It was finished in only 4 months.
In 1953 on Petrínská rozhledna a TV broadcasting antenna was installed, whereby the program fed was performed by a directional radio antenna. In 1999, the tower was completely renovated.
