when in paris it is of course obligatory to take a (million) photo(s) of the eiffel tower. i thought i would try a slighty different angle than simply straight on (with mine and mands' faces goliath-like and seemingly bigger than the tower itself as i hold the camera, pointed towards us, at arm's length). if you click for the bigger version of this photo, you can see the many many many rivets holding these giant pieces of iron in place - there are 2.5 million rivets in the whole tower! that fact will hopefully come in handy for you in a trivia night one time.
the full story is contained in the very first post, but essentially this blog is a virtual 'show and tell', a slideshow of my favourite digital photos reflecting my life, travels, experiences, or simply the beauty or interest i see in an everyday object - with some accompanying text to provide some insight, context and background to the picture and my reason for taking it.
you can enlarge any photos and enjoy the detail of its full size by simply clicking on them - however to save your download time and data count, i have kept them small for the blog page itself.
i hope you enjoy, and do feel free to leave your thoughts in comments.
