Quite uncommon view ... Photo

Photographer’s Note

A quite uncommon view of one of the most touristical monument of Paris.

Why because it has been taken at the top of a large wheel which was assembled temporarily inside the Grand Palais.

This builiding is metamorphosed, for the end of the year, in a vast fun fair. Nail of this baptized initiative "Feastdays", large wheel a 30 meters height makes climb the visitors with the short-nap cloth of the canopies of the cupola.
Usually you can't see the eiffel tower from the floor because of big walls. You have to be near the cupola.

I will post next days some pictures of this fun fair..

With its 240 metre-long façade (entered from Avenue Franklin Roosevelt), the Grand Palais is used for various exhibitions.

2005 is a very nice year because this museum was closed for 12 years because of his oldness.

Thanks for your comments.

Regards.

Une vue trés intéressante de la charpente métallique du Grand Palais, avec une trés bonne netteté et surtout des irridescentes superbes sur les lampes. La grande question, c'est cette tour Eiffel illuminée à la crosiée des deux arcs boutants : reflet ou transparence du toit vitré ? En tout cas, cette tour miniature vaut vraiment de s'arrêter attentivement sur ta photo.

Bien cordialement,

Emmanuel
