The Enormous Grandeur of Eiffel Tower in Paris

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

The Eiffel Tower is an invincible tower designed for the Paris Exposition on 1889. Alexandre Gustave Eiffel was behind the architectural masterpiece which soared France to greater reverence. But not all people fell in love with the structure; many artists and nature enthusiasts even used to call it a monster. They believe that Eiffel Tower was indeed a worthless piece of tower, which only distracts people and birds with its monstrous size. Yet, many famous art legends like Chagall, Delaunay, and even Rousseau were deeply stunned with absolute respect for a good engineering design. There was an ominous threat to break the masterpiece down before the leasing contract expired in 1910 but because of the devised antenna for telegraphy during that time and after it became a special 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 marvelous with its exquisite details.
