Paris, France

This close-up, silhouetted view of the Eiffel Tower’s structure at its base was captured on my visit to Paris in September 2012.

Paris en miniature

My portable camera comes with some cool special effects I don’t often use … what better time than a vacation to play a little.
This effect makes everything look like a miniature scene. This was shot from the Eiffel Tower, with every element looking even tinier than it already is.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris puts on a five-minute light show at night, on the hour, much to the delight of tourists. Caught this video a few nights ago, just as I was leaving, at first unaware of this sparkling sensation.
