The Eiffel Tower It is the tallest structure in Paris and among the most recognized symbols in the world.

The tower stands 300 m (1000 ft) high. Including the 20.75 m (70 ft) antenna, the structure is 320.75 m (1070 ft).

At the time of its construction in 1889, the tower replaced the Washington Monument as the tallest structure in the world, a title it retained until 1930, when New York City's Chrysler Building (319 m/1063.33 ft tall) was completed (although the tower was still taller if the respective spires of the two structures were excluded).

The metal structure of the Eiffel Tower weighs 7,300 tonnes, and the total weight is 10,100 tonnes. The number of steps to the summit has varied through various renovations: at the time of construction in 1889, there were 1710 steps to the summit platform at 300.65 m; after renovation in the early 1980s, there were 1920 steps; and today there are 1660 steps (although it is not possible for the public to reach the summit via the stairs - elevators are required beyond the second platform).

Bonjour. J'aime bien ce POV incliné, et la composition est agréable. Un peu dommage que le ciel soit tout blanc, mais cela peut aussi être intéressant dans le sens où la Tour Eiffel ici à l'air d'être érigée un peu nulle part. Bon travail. Grazyna.

Too much of the Eiffel tower is shown, but the view taken is original.
Interesting graphics and much originality in this shot.

Hola Eva.
Me gusta mucho este enfoque sobre la torre Eifel. Es dificil obtener algo de originalidad sobre un sujeto tan fotografiado, y tu lo has conseguido. El punto de vista es diferente y da un buen resultado.
Tambien aprecio el caracter casi "blanco y negro" de esta foto en color. Se ve que las condiciones meterologicas no estaban por la labor, y aún así el resultado de tu foto es muy inspirado.
Felicitaciones y un saludo desde Francia.
Robert
