Architectural photography of the Eiffel Tower, Paris
The Eiffel tower in Paris is probably the most famous landmark in the world. Built between 1887-1889. It was to be a temporary structure for the Paris world fair. You don’t need me to waffle on about the history of it as there is tons and tons of stuff out there on the net.
When I first visited the Eiffel Tower on a photography college trip 18 years ago. I was told by one of my tutors that the bricks at the base of each of the four supporting columns was Nori brick (the hardest brick in the world) made in Accrington, Lancashire. I think he was lying as I cannot find a reference to it anywhere. If anyone knows any different please let me know.
Anyway enough of all this, here is my photographic take on the Eiffel tower. As usual feedback is very welcome.
