In Late September, it's strolling weather in Paris.

| The Eiffel Tower from the Trocadero, Paris, by DG Hudson |
The Eiffel Tower stands across from the Trocadero, two worthy guardians of the intersection. On the left is the lower end of the Trocadero fountains. Straight ahead, the traffic appears to go beneath the tower, but the roadway diverts. Foreshortening of the distance through the camera lens provides the illusion.

Up close, you can see the detail in the ironwork of the supporting legs. That traffic light is at the intersection where the traffic diverts.

The Iron Lady's mood can change with the weather, turning from a warm bronze color to cold gray metal matching the clouds.

La Tour Eiffel appears to change when viewed from different angles and distance. Standing underneath, you feel sheltered. At a distance, it appears solid and balanced. Up close, you see more design elements.

Have you photographed images like this where an illusion is created? Were you aware of it at the time you snapped the photograph? Did you enjoy seeing more outtakes of the Eiffel Tower?
Please leave a comment to let me know you were here and thanks for dropping by! I'll respond.
