The Eiffel Tower!! at night Oooo Laa Laaa :):):)


This is another controversial building, but fortunately everyone fell in love with it so now it seems to be ok. I guess they will keep it :) It was originally built to be “temporary” for a world's fair in the early 1800’s. After the fair… people began to wonder "um… why is that ugly contraption still up??? It’s wrecking my view and my property value!!!! Alors!!!"… Well… those days are over… These days, views of this tower will increase your property value! I am sure they don't mind :) except at tax time when they pay taxes on the value of what they own... oh well you can't have it all... As some have found out you can't have your cake and eat it too... "let them eat cake or let them pay taxes!!! (just kidding)

At night they light her up.. and every hour on the hour she sparkles for about 10 minutes… its very cool. The top of the tower has some search lights that turn all while it sparkles. The beams are parallel to the ground she is fun to watch :)

Good night … its getting late over here and I have to study.. hope you enjoy the posts… miss you all and hope to see you in a little over a week
