Lookout Below

I was working on an old PC last night and found some of my older photographs on it. So I pulled them into some of the newer software I use to see what I could come up with. This was a photo I took with a 3MP camera from the top of the Eiffel Tower in 2006. This was the second time I visited Paris and the second time to the top of the Eiffel Tower. The first time it was all I could do to walk out onto the observation platform at the top. The second time was better, I actually looked over the side and took some photographs. The view from the top is spectacular at just under 900ft above the ground. The only thing I don't recommend is picking the shortest line to go up the tower. It turns out the shorter line is the one that you have to walk the first two floors and then use the elevator to the top. It's a long walk upstairs and all you get to see going up is the ground below through the open staircase. A little scary if you dislike heights.

Aw Paris...
Lovely picture. When I was there I didn't go up there on the tower. Next time I'll try to have that vision. Must be awesome.
Looks like what I see in most of my falling nightmares
