Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars at Night

Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars at Night

Description:

Against a dark and cloudless sky, we see a brilliantly-lit metallic tower in the background, and a park lit by bluish-green mercury vapor lamps in the foreground. The tower is lit by orangish sodium-vapor lamps, making it look as though it is made of gold. The sky behind the tower is cloudless and quite black. Beyond the tower we can just see another building, also lit in yellow light, across the river.
