Paris Diary: Views from the Eiffel Tower





Looking upriver along the Seine.

All the pictures I'm posting here are 640x480 reductions of stuff taken with the 7-mpixel Canon SD800IS ("Img" in the name) or the 6-mpixel Nikon D-40 digital SLR ("DSC" in the name). I haven't done any processing other than some cropping here and there and the down-convert to the reduced size.







In the distance is La Défence. You can see just a bit of the big square Grand Arche.







Looking down the Champs de Mars at the École Militaire (Miliary School, Napoleon was a graduate).







Les Invalides. The dome is the church where Napoleon's tomb is now. The green space just beyond the dome is the Musée Rodin sculpture garden.







Green space that starts at the left edge and goes up and right is Jardin des Tuileries. At the end of that is the Louvre.







The Grand Palais.







Extreme zoom on Sacré-Cœur.







Late afternoon view. Just like the colors on this one.
