Eiffel Tower, Paris — Low-Angle View Against Summer Sky

28 May 2022 · Paris

The Eiffel Tower seen from directly below, its iron lattice expanding outward as the eye climbs from the broad first-floor arches to the needle tip. A broken summer sky — vivid blue cut by rolling cloud — does the structural geometry a favour: the warm wrought iron reads sharper against it. Gustave Eiffel built a machine for looking up at; this frame takes that instruction literally. The tower fills the vertical, and the clouds do the rest.
