Here She is Again, Mademoiselle Tour Eiffel

You really can’t see her too many times. I just learned from one of the many blogs I read that photographing the Eiffel Tower at night for commercial use or publication is forbidden because the lighting is copyrighted. There’s no problem using the image taken during daylight. Tres interessant.
By the way, the Eiffel Tower is the site of a big celebration every Bastille Day (July 14, their "4th of July," shall we say). Supposedly, they use three tons of powder to set off over 6,500 fireworks; and thousands of people have picnics all day on the parc du Champ de Mars in front of the Eiffel--very much like our 4th of July holiday.
