1. La Tour Eiffel gates, found here.
Drawing of the Eiffel Tower (love it!) found here. 
I just love the Eiffel Tower.
I arrived in Paris on a rainy Friday evening and was a bit culture-shocked after my walk from the Metro station to my hostel in the 18th Arrondissement (a near-mugging amongst other things). After getting myself sorted, I worked out how to get to la Tour Eiffel on the Metro (three changeovers, yay for being in an el-cheapo backpackers hostel way out of the city).
When I first saw the tower, it was lit up in green and gold, and I actually gasped! It was absolutely one of the most magical sights I have ever seen (of the man-made world anyway).
Above is the first picture I took of la Tour Eiffel. Lovely.
