Eiffel Tower Fireworks, 14th July 2009

Photo published in WIRED magazine (without them telling me). Thanks to Pixter007 for the heads up.

This year the Eiffel Tower is celebrating its 120th birthday and half of Paris turned up for the show. The weather was amazing with a fantastic blue sky as a backdrop. The fireworks were accompanied by music from Mozart, Puccini, Bizet, Gershwin and Tchaikovsky. To see more photos in this series, click here.

Wow! gorgeous with that blue backdrop. I like how tight you are on the tip of the iconic structure. Forget the sweeping cliche shot.
