| Description |
So I didn't know about this <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F01EFD6173BF931A15755C0A9659C8B63">glittery, laser-show-ish thing</a> the tower does at the top of each hour. I got out of the taxi I'd hailed at the irretrievably broken Charles de Gaulle Metro stop at 10:01 PM (I love the northerly latitudes), and there it was, blinking and twitching away, white flashes over top of its electric blue light-up job. "Really?" I thought. "Okay, I guess." So I started backing up along the Pont d'Iéna to get a few wide snapshots, and several photos in, I looked up from my camera to notice that the Eiffel Tower was no longer having a fit. I had to look around at the reactions of everyone else to satifsy myself that this was normal and expected, before settling into an appreciation of the relative calm of blazing electric blue kleigs. Irony of ironies from that 2003 NYT article: "The tower will retain its all-white elegance. This is not Niagara Falls, which is illuminated in 4,000-watt iridescent spotlights that change color throughout the evening." Well, that sounds nice, anyway. |
