For your viewing pleasure...

This year marks the 120th year anniversary for the Eiffel Tower. Originally built for the World's Fair in 1889, the tower has become a symbol of France. The tower has gotten controversial reviews and has undergone threats of tearing it down numerous times. Guy de Maupassant ate there frequently because it was the only place in Paris he could not see the unsightly monument.


At any rate, there is a new lighting display for the tower in honor of its anniversary.

That last one is beautiful, and as always, the French colors look lovely at night...
