I was warned. Warned more than adequately that the Eiffel Tower can be a disappointing experience. For all of its fame and glory it can show up as a stacked up mass of steel that touches the sky.

And so I was prepared to see it as just that. When the expectation are so low, the experiences end up being much better.

The Eiffel Tower juts into the sky with a sudden flourish with the help of some solid legs. Ah legs! Legs with arches and whorls. Patters and lines. All of steel and stands solid, as the rest of the tower seems to be in such a hurry to rush to the sky.
