When the Eiffel Tower has an earth hour moment...

Like a thousand monuments in the world, last evening the Eiffel Tower participated in the Earth Hour ("one hour for the planet" in France). Only "for security reasons" (really?!) the Eiffel Tower hour only lasted.. 5 minutes. But it made it to the news, so I suppose it was enough to raise the awareness of many people on the necessity to turn off the lights when not needed! I'll be honest, I did not take this photo while the lights were out, but a long time ago. I just thought it was perfect for the occasion...

  2. It's a good angle to capture the Tower from.

  3. I feel bad that I missed earth hour. I didn't know it was last night; I wasn't paying attention.

  4. I just came back from Earth Hour. The Manhattan Beach pier lights were turned off and a drone kept us company for 15 minutes, We had a wonderful time!

  6. The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower located in the champ de Mars in Paris. It was named after the engineer Gustavo Eiffel. How the company is designed and builds the towers. I collect this great history from the tour guide during my west coast tour. He is very knowledgeable man.
