A cold and warm tour in France. France is one of the world's most famous countries. People have dreams to take a tour of this country. In January 2011, I made a tour of France with my friend Saeed and girlfriend Sarah. I was so happy to spent a few days in France. I found it a very great place to live. It is on top of various aspect of life such as civilization, culture, environment, history, public places and everything.

France is a sovereign country in Western Europe officially known as the French Republic. It borders Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany to the northeast, Switzerland to the east, Italy to the south-east and Spain to the south-west.

A huge architechture which rises upto 300 meters in Paris is known as the Eiffel Tower. For over 120 years, the Eiffel Tower has been the stage for numerous historical, cultural and sporting events. It is so romantic place. If you want to spend some time with your girl friend in a very romantic environment, so thats the place. Lovers come here to propose their life partner.

Spinning around the Eiffel Tower

It was really interesting and fun when I was tanking dinner at Cafe Klebar on the Place du Trocadero, we (Me and my friends) walked towards the famous esplanade! The weather was stunning, the tower was in good shape and so were the showmen and women who were performing in front of the tourists. The evening scene was making the environment more beautiful. It was my girlfriend's first time to Paris and first time seeing the Eiffel Tower in person. She just stopped in her tracks, and it was like you could the angels singing.

Snow on the Eiffel Tower

That's very vibrant and something very unique.  There are fire jugglers every saturday evening. Great place to take night shots with the eiffel tower.  Paris is really beautiful at the moment, I wish you all could be here! I discovered by sheer coincidence that they installed an ice rink by the Trocadero, facing the Eiffel Tower (a nice change from the one at Hotel de ville that I photograph every year). Huge success! And what a scenery for a PDP photo.  Now about the photo in the water. It has a bit of the feeling of being on the water, as it should, since I was, and a bit of a look of surrealism, especially the back left leg of the ET. Yes it snowed again over Paris today. And yes, it's a blessing for photographers! I'm sure you will love this photo, as much as I do. Only, I have to be honest and give credit to Stuart, the friend of mine who lives by the Eiffel Tower and actually took this photo. Enjoy! Maybe I should have more guests from time to time.
