I was never actually in the building, we just stopped a
little distance away from it... that picture was taken from
the roof of this really tall building (the tallest in Paris
I assume) that we went too... really great view!

it was after 9:00 or so, if I remember correctly, and it
started sparkling... one of the most gorgeous things I've
seen in my time no doubt!!

tolstoyed: scary!!
when i went to athens there was a place were you could see
athens in 360 from more or less the center up this little
mountain (rock) ....the lycabetus i think.....scary....
*wishes andreas gursky did pictures of cities*

yes, i took those...and yes i wasn't that comfortable going
upthere for the 1st time either :)
it would be better if there were other high buildings
around...and perhaps if it would be more firm :)

sunday I was there, and saw some great views like that of
the Eiffel Tower, but DAMMIT, I forgot my camera... :(

haha, speaking of deathtraps, I remember the elevator in the
hotel I stayed at in Paris was pretty scary... seriously,
you jump and the elevator was drop down a bit... it felt
like it was just on this elastic band, and it was bouncing
around... scary stuff! :)

made some quick scans :)

funkmaster: i was kidding, those stairs look a bit tight

waking up in the middle of the night and I was half asleep
and was gonna venture down for a drink, and I missed a stair
and went down hard! :)

I LOVE that tower, gorgeous piece of architecture. Although
it always reminds me of that fairly lame ''American Werewolf
in Paris'' movie from a few years back. Julie Delpy is
adorable though.

So do I. I see where he was coming from though, I
personally use Irfanview to sharpen pics quite a lot. This
one was just an assy example though.

ASSY

ok, the unsharp mask was a bad idea. But it needed the
levels adjusted something awful..

admit it.

I still prefer the original. It's more natural, or

The first one looks dreamier, a bit more atmospheric. Hazy,
but it works there. The second ones looks too... normal.
De-mod, de-mod.
