My view of the Eiffel Tower was forever changed back in the ‘70s when I was in Paris in the wnter. I was walking down the street and caught sight of the Eiffel Tower through the treeet branches and discovered how delicate it looked, almost filligree. For in terms of its size, the tower actually has little weight. Build a model of it and you will see. Not at all like the clunky souveniers you pick up.
Yes, I agree. And I do intend to build a model some day! I enjoy modelbuildng. Now, one must remember that it was considered an abomination when it was first built. It was panned an ugly expression of the modern industrial aesthetic.
