skywatch: ou est wren?

in Skywatch

looking up at the eiffel tower

Actually, it’s “where was” Wren, not “where is” she. But this is pretty much a “gimme” so I’m not going to tell Klaus, Mike, or anyone else who knew or guessed where I was that they can’t comment. I knew before I went that this was one iconic Skywatch that I had to photograph before I returned home.

Skywatch is a meme, a communal sharing, of photos of the sky from around the world. It’s just-for-fun, not-for-profit, and noncompetitive. To participate, blog a photo which includes the sky, then add its link to the master list at the Skywatch website. Enjoy, and visit the rest of the Skywatch posts when they are posted at 7:30 GMT today.

Great shot! I love this angle…. and I’m a little jealous.

Wren: That is outstanding and a wonderful view of the tower, nicely done. I thought I was here but must have missed it somehow.

Wren November 2, 2008 at 4:52 pm

Thanks, fellow SkyWatchers! I do have additional photos from France which I will be sharing before long. We didn’t go all the way to the top, but did go up to the first tier and take pictures.

Great photo … I’ve been there but never up top. Do you have a view from the top by any chance?

How can anything so massive appear so delicate at the same time? This is a wonderful perspective, Wren. Your point of view makes me appreciate the height of the thing!

Oh quite nice to to see famous Paris monument in Orlando, thanks for sharing Eiffel Tower and a clear blue sky.

… but if you want to see Vigelands monolith you have to go to Oslo or you have to visit my blog next week.
Hallo from Germany

Wren, I know where you are…When I went to Paris I never thought the take a photo from this angle…marvelous! :)

I bet that I’ll never make it to the Eiffel Tower, but it’s a place I’d really like to visit… So massive… So complex… And rather beautiful to top it off…

Wonderful Skywatch photo, Wren! Thanks for stopping by my My World Tuesday! So, you used to live in Va…then you do know, it’s a great place. But, France–now I’d adore visiting there! :-) Take care–

Great skywatch, what a wonderful place!

Re your commment, I LOL’d about you waving from the other side of the the Lake! And on the occasional clear day (with low smog) it almost seems possible!

Wren October 31, 2008 at 7:49 am

The picture is of the real, original, honest-to-god, in-Paris Eiffel tower. The Epcot advocates are teasing me because Klaus used a picture of Epcot to inaugurate My World last week. :)

I have some more pictures from France that I hope I’ll have time to post this week.

I love the angle of your shot of one of the most easily recognized structures on the planet. I gotta get over there to see it as some point. It is sorta sad the Disney has one too though.

Maria October 31, 2008 at 6:35 am

The perspective is great. I would say the Eiffel tower is from Epcot.

krizcpec October 31, 2008 at 6:16 am

Now I am confused, this is not the real Eiffel Tower?

Tootie October 31, 2008 at 3:39 am

I love Epcot! Hope you had a good time in the French Bakery. :-)

Wren we visited the same monument! I was there for a week in Aug..come by and see my perspective! Sky watching from Paris

Larry October 31, 2008 at 1:10 am

Great shot Wren! Enjoy France while you’re there and try to get out to the southern French countryside where both the people and the countryside are beautiful. Super SWF capture.

Carletta October 31, 2008 at 12:44 am

Great perspective!
Lucky, lucky, you!

Ho..ho!, you are in Paris now. ;)
