 Church
of
EiffelThis is my 400th posting (to my Paris photo blog), apparently, and it's nice that Lady E is looking in on it, I think. A curious shot, admittedly, but somewhat symbolic. The tower itself was a shock for many, so untraditional and violently industrial that it was, similar to the shock of the Louvre pyramid in a later era... I like the modern cross in the form of an aerial in the middle, with the sun balancing the tower and the whole thing viewed through a sort of mesh, almost like a confessional grill, as I offer my thanks to our Lady of Eiffel in about as close as I'll come to a conventional religious experience. Next service, same time tomorrow evening, wherever you are! |
