This was originally going to be a portrait shot of the Eiffel Tower but I quite like this one too, especially with the lovely colour of the sky in the background.

Flowers of the Eiffel Tower
When you visit the Eiffel Tower, you’ll see the massive Jardin de la Tour Eiffel stretch off into the distance. In warm weather, the gardens are thronged with people in the evenings who gather to watch the Eiffel Tower light up.
This photo was shot on one such evening. The night was calm, and warm and it was lovely to be out.

Motion Around the Eiffel Tower
Life is all around beneath the Eiffel Tower. Most people are walking but the people selling mini Eiffel Towers and other knick knacks to tourists are the only ones stationary.

Reflection on the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower reflected in the pond at the Jardins du Trocadéro in Paris.
I remember reading that police would stop you taking photos of the Eiffel Tower at night with a camera on a tripod but I never experienced that. Do they do that any more?

Eiffel Tower Reflection in Grand Palais Éphémère
So many people gathered to watch the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but if they looked behind them, they’d see this magnificent reflection of the Tower.
The Grand Palais Éphémère was empty and dark when I was there, so it reflected perfectly the Eiffel Tower in its windows.
I have to admit, the last time I was in Paris, some 23 years ago, I don’t remember the Grand Palais Éphémère being there at all, but back then I didn’t have the equipment or skill to take a photo like this anyway, and never thought to visit the Eiffel Tower in the evening! It wasn’t in the guide book!

The Eiffel Tower at Sunset
The Eiffel Tower garden is thronged with people watching the sun set behind the massive structure. The sky was clear and it was a hot night. People were sitting in almost every available space waiting for the light show that made the Tower sparkle on the hour.
