September 27. I'm up early and one of the first up the Eiffel Tower this morning. This is the second story of the second level.
Me on the second level. Note the sienna color, I always imagined the Eiffel Tower was dark brown or gray.
The Seine River, looking southwest from the second level of the Eiffel Tower.
Visitors on the top level of the Eiffel Tower. Note the wire mesh; it's to prevent people from committing suicide. Shortly after it's construction in 1900, it became fashionable to throw one's self off this tower.
I take the stairs down from second level to the first level.
Arc de Triomphe.
Champs Elysées near Arc De Triomphe. Lots of tourists and Parisians using cel phones.
Sidewalk cafes along Champs Elysées.
People sitting in Parc Du Champ Du Mars.

The Eiffel Tower in the afternoon from Champ De Mars -- Yes, I actually returned in the afternoon just to get the right light for this shot.
