High above Paris, from the Eiffel Tower, you have a magnificent view of the city.
We started the year 2025 well with a weekend in Paris, after the hustle and bustle of the holidays. The weather was clear and although I had been to Paris many times before, I had never been to the Eiffel Tower. Vertigo and long queues held me back, but in this new year it was going to happen.
It was clear and cold. Perfect weather to photograph the view. I had brought my new zoom lens for the occasion. Got it for my birthday in November and already photographed a bit with it, but it was made for this kind of photography. The result with this lens is really amazing. What sharpness at such'a great distance!
The photo shows the impressive skyline of the la Défense district, an office district. Every time we are in Paris, there seems to be more construction and Paris seems to become a kind of New York on the Seine.
What I love about this photo is the contrast between the modern buildings on the one hand and the classic mid-19th-century Haussmann architecture in the foreground of this photo.
What a city!
