15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Gold in the Blue Hour

Given the Eiffel Tower is one of the most photographed objects on earth I was looking for a different perspective by relating it to larger composition of the golden colors of the sky, lighting, bridge and monuments. The image was taken before the light show was enacted to avoid the proprietary copyright limitations of night photography on the tower.
