Photo Friday: Best of 2003
My entry for Photo Friday: Best of 2003. It's the Eiffel Tower.
I went out one night alone while I was in Paris this May. The weather was very hot, and the air was stuffy but clear. I spent at least fifteen minutes lining up this digital shot and getting it just perfectly timed for when the beacon was pointing properly. When I finished, I turned around and realized that my camera bag had been stolen! -- thank goodness I didn't have rolls of used film in my bag! The most difficult thing in the bag to replace was a library book I needed to return. I think the photo is worth it, though.
