I thought pretty much every shot of the Eiffle tower was the same, but you proved me wrong. This is beautiful and unique.
I thought i'd mention that I laughed when I saw two pictures (the tiger and the cat) because they are lying in exactly the same way. I guess I just thought it showed that my little house cat really has the heart of a tiger :]

Oh my cats might eat me :] My friend points out that you can get a fine for posting pictures of the eiffle tower at night. Something about it being copyrighted.

You sure?
Well I'll hear from them when they contact me, there was no sign next to it saying it was copyrighted so I don't care...

Found this somewhere: The Eiffel Tower's likeness had long since been part of the public domain, when in 2003, it was abruptly repossessed by the city of Paris. That's the year that the SNTE, the company charged with maintaining the tower, adorned it with a distinctive lighting display, copyrighted the design, and in one feel swoop, reclaimed the nighttime image and likeness of the most popular monument on earth. In short: they changed the actual likeness of the tower, and then copyrighted that.
As a result, it's no longer legal to publish current photographs of the Eiffel Tower at night without permission. Technically, this applies even to amateurs. When I spoke to the Director of Documentation for SNTE, StΓ©hane Dieu, via phone last week, he assured me that SNTE wasn't interested in prohibiting the publication of amateur photography on personal Web sites. "It is really just a way to manage commercial use of the image, so that it isn't used in ways we don't approve," said Mr. Dieu.
Looks like you probably won't get in trouble, and its to pretty to get rid of :]

I promise it only took me a second to look up. A simple copy and paste. Not nearly as pretentious as it looked :]

This is amazing!! I went to Paris and took pictures of the Eiffel Tower too! (not nearly as good)
I took it from an extremely similar angle as well. It's like we sort of have the same eye for photography.
Haha.
This picture is gorgeous. You got it on a perfect day!!
