A matter of taste ... the 05.11.09

For Parisians, the Eiffel Tower is part of the landscape. It goes almost unnoticed as everyone is accustomed. The evidence in the airline 6 subway, when we see the great lady of iron, only tourists marvel at the sight of this great figure who stands out as the gray skies of autumn.

To reappear in the eyes of this Parisian institution, the Eiffel Tower is adorned from time to time new style: all red for the year of China, the famous and beautiful sparkle, and this time a dress rather ... colorful. Indeed, during the 120 years of the Eiffel Tower, a light installation was put in place, which appears 4 times a night. The tower then dress color and light effects to change.

Only now, I'm not a fan. Gradients and wave back along the metal beams, flashes make me think of a Christmas garland. I feel almost like to see the large replicas of the tower which are sold illegally in the aisles of the field in March.

Why do I bite into it, I do not know ... just a matter of taste?

    # The Mango:

    This is not true. I ALWAYS watch the Tour Eiffel with amazement when I cross the Seine on line 6. It is never the same as the weather, and what I like most is when she loses her head in the middle of the mist.

    # David:

    Finally someone who looks like me with happiness always present.
    But if you pay attention in the subway, people who look not often local.
    And I agree with you, I find it wonderful when she loses her head ...
    A bientôt.

     
     
    # Bouchra:

    something that has nothing to do but that has to do as well! In addition to its extreme lightness visually, a structural standpoint it is also true. Its size equals its base multiplied by height of 6.4 cm. Incredible, no?
