Climbing the Tower

This morning there was a tiny lull in the Imagine Cup proceedings, and so we went off to climb the Eiffel Tower. The queue for the lifts was huge, but there was nobody waiting to climb the stairs, so off we went. Of course I had the camera with me.

Even at the first level the views were amazing.

I've actually got a a confession to make. At the first level you can transfer to the lift (which is actually worth knowing, and a way of beating the queues on the ground) and so we took a lift to the next stage.

And more so

At this point we kind of ran out of time, because we had to head off to the Imagine Cup finalist presentations. So I never quite made it right to the top. But I will next time.

I remember when I last climbed that tower. Did you purchase overly priced foul coffee from the store on the tower ?

What type of camera are you using? The quality on these pictures looks great!

The camera is a Canon 400D, but I do have a very good Sigma 10-20mm zoom lens on it, which makes the pictures look quite nice.
