Let me riff for a moment as a photographer. To photograph the Eiffel Tower or not to, that is the question. I have moved 180 degrees on that issue.

Sometimes your best shot is behind you. I was standing outside a restaurant, looking toward the Eiffel Tower, which is probably one of the most photographed structures in the world. Evelyn saw what I was up to, and said, look at the reflection in the restaurant's front door.

Bad weather usually enhances a photograph of an iconic structure. This photograph was shot from the Printemps Department Store's 9th floor rooftop on a foggy, but somewhat balmy Sunday the week before Christmas.

Friday night one week before Christmas, we walked from the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, down the Av. des Champs-Élysées, through the Christmas Market (before the Berlin truck incident), through the Louvre, down and the Rue de Rivoli, and through the Marais, until we stopped at Benedict for dinner seated at the bar. It seemed like the entire city was out walking, shopping, and eating. Nothing says Paris quite like the Eiffel Tower and the traffic circle around the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile.
