Description

How is it that a structure made of things so ordinary can create an iconic commodity of architecture that symbolizes beauty, love, and light across the globe? In the dim afterglow of a bustling day in Paris, le Tour de Eiffel glistens with the gentle brilliance of light- a substance so pure that it shines within the darkness of the city. The light becomes stronger as the world around it becomes darker.
