The Massive Wonder of Eiffel Tower in Paris

During the day, I can go past the Eiffel Tower unmindful of its monumental wonder. But at night, the tower turns into a luminuous torch which brightens up the full city. It's a symbol of light which is most charming in the chills of a cold night. It's always a lovely evening in Paris when most partners come out of their love cocoon to soon spread their amorous wings through the lovely streets of France.

The Eiffel Tower is an invincible masterpiece developed for the Paris Exposition on 1889. Alexandre Gustave Eiffel was behind the architectural masterpiece which soared France to greater esteem. But not all people fell in love with the masterpiece; a number of artists and nature enthusiasts even used to call it a monster. They believe that Eiffel Tower was indeed a worthless piece of edifice, which only distracts people and birds with its gigantic size. Yet, many famous art legends like Chagall, Delaunay, and even Rousseau were deeply stunned with absolute appreciation for a perfect engineering design. There was an ominous threat to break the structure down before the leasing contract expired in 1910 but because of the devised antenna for telegraphy during that time and after it became a crucial part of International Time Service, it was then saved from extinction. Now, Eiffel Tower still stands firmly in the heart of Paris -- mighty, invincible, and outstanding with its fine details.
