After the Eiffel Tower Contest last week, I realized I had some of my own unique and unusual photos.
These were taken in December of 2007 from the windows of the Cite de La Architecture Museum on the Trocadero on a very wet, stormy afternoon.
The last photo was taken last weekend in similar weather with my new camera.
Should I have won the contest? Which do you like the best?

I am pleased as punch to announce the launch of Eye Prefer Paris Tours, which are 3-hour walking tours I will personally be leading. The Eye Prefer Paris Tour includes many of the places I have written about such as small museums & galleries, restaurants, cafes & food markets, secret addresses, fashion & home boutiques, parks, and much more.
I look forward to meeting you on my tours and it will be my pleasure and delight to show you my insiders Paris.

Most cool.I'm torn between the eiffel in the blue rain (first one) and the next to last, the hazy weird gods hailing another hero.

Yours are all superb, mostly because they are somewhat abstarct in
that none is totally all about the tower itself. I like the 2nd the
best of yours, the one with the draping fir trees in the foreground.

The moody, rain-spotted camera lens Eiffel Tower. (second one down from the top.)
And no, you shouldn't have won the contest because you shouldn't have been allowed to enter. Which you didn't. Thanks for sharing them after the contest!

Great pictures of the Eiffel Tower! Love the rainy one too, but my favorite is the next-to-last one.
