I just happened to notice that the Eiffel Tower
is decked out in gold today.
Very beautiful!

Beautiful indeed. Wish I would have gotten closer to it when I was in Paris.
I have seen our new tower in Avala, it is finished and I will check if it is possible to go on top of it; I think they opened it for public recently. Then I will make a post about it.No, it is not famous as Eiffel tower but represents a symbol of Belgrade :happy:
Does it have pretty lights? Oooh Ahhhh!:p(will settle for bright shiny keys if lights not available.)
Gorgeous shot, Edward. Thanks for sharing that. Sometimes we forget about the beauty around us.:heart:
I know I tend to forget. Speaking of which I'm watching CNN. :pDon't worry though. It's nap time. 🙂
pure gold in our eyes… how pretty!celebrating 120th Bday is a great reason to turn shinny! that was on 10/15/09 ..I wonder if the Lightshows will continue for 120 days :)a great post Eddie! :up:
@ Angeliki.You know I did something on it July 2008 and as I remember they were only going to have them up a week or so. But there they are, still there. I have a feeling that maybe they were so popular that they decided to make them permanent — even if they aren't very energy efficient. I sure hope so.In any case I've seen her in many pretty colors since then.
We're in this kind of light vortex here in Spokane with it being a valley. Tough to see stuff. If it's 3 your time it would be midnight here — that easy math I can do!
:yes:math does not suck if you live in Spokane! :p
it will be a blessing if they do, cost might be a not very favorable fact however.. But again In France everything is possible :)you might enjoy this post on it,(this bloger mentioned 3 months of lightshows) http://hipparis.com/2009/10/21/at-120-the-eiffel-tower-lights-up-the-night-sky/
Hey thanks for the link I would like to see that light show on the Citrogen site he mentioned.Let's see, 8:00 Paris time is ? PM Spokane time…OMG I hate math!:p:heart:
hahahaha match sucks!!!however,I hope your math allows you to see the Meteor shower tonight,we are all ready on my end, snacks, blankets, alarm clock set for 3am ….and since I know you like the subject,if not for tonight,here is the calendar that you might visit in the future:http://www.imo.net/calendar/2009
Well Angeliki I finally figured it out.Paris is UTC +1 and Spokane is UTC -8.So that's a nine hour difference, which means that 8:00 PM in Paris is 11:00 AM in Spokane.That would be 2:00 PM NYC time.
