| A Different Perspective of the Eiffel Tower-Looking up, by http://www.luckylittletravelers.com/ |
The Eiffel Tower is a Paris landmark that is known worldwide. It was originally built for the Paris Exhibition, of 1889, to showcase the engineering skills of Gustave Eiffel. The Eiffel Tower was a salute to the materials that dominated the architecture of the late 19th century, wrought iron and steel. It is interesting that while the Eiffel Tower was all about demonstrating the strength of steel and iron, it looks so delicate, almost like a delicate piece of lace. At the time of the Eiffel Towers construction it was a controversial building, outraging the French people. (The viewpoint of the photo featured in this article is standing under the Eiffel Tower and looking up.) Currently, the Eiffel Tower is beloved by people worldwide, but the pride of the French.
