Gustave Eiffel, the engineer and architect behind the tower, was also involved in a disastrous attem


I have created this place for people who feel on cloud nine this day or for people who have got out of the wrong side of the bed :( This would be a place where you can speak your mind and heart out. Friends are those whom we choose and thus are the people who dont judge you and have a ready shoulder to lean on to. So welcome one and all to discuss the serious and not so serious aspects of life.
I reached in the evening, picked up my camera and headed straight to the guitar of the sky, the Eiffel tower. It was full day light and I captured it well on my Nikon D7100. I waited with bated breath for the lights to turn on. And truly my jaw dropped at the sight. I leave you with my captures before we move on.
Gustave Eiffel, the engineer and architect behind the tower, was also involved in a disastrous attempt by the French to build a canal in Panama, and his reputation was badly damaged by the failure of the venture.
During the German occupation, the tower's lift cables were cut, and the tower closed to the public. Nazi soldiers then attempted to attach a swastika to the top, but it was so large it blew away and had to be replaced with a smaller one.
French car manufacturer Citroen renaissance asheville hotel used the tower as a giant billboard between 1925 and 1934 the company name was emblazoned on the tower using a quarter of a million light bulbs and was recorded as the world s biggest advertisement by the Guinness Book of Records.
