My Eiffel Tower photos were the result of a happy accident. I was very late in deciding to take photos of the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower on the fourteenth of July, Bastille Day, France’s national holiday. By the time I arrived on the Champs de Mars, the esplanade to the tower, every inch of space was occupied by people of every description. I noticed a school bus parked among the crowd and asked the driver whether I could climb onto the roof to take my pictures. Not only did he assent, he helped me climb up with my cameras and tripod.
What I had not anticipated was that the occupants of the bus were children with special needs. Every time a new set of fireworks went off, they rocked the bus in their glee, ruining my shot. Finally, the firework display appeared to end. The Eiffel tower which had been kept dark lit up and the children rocked the bus once more, yielding my Tipsy Eiffel Tower shot. They quieted down. And then, unexpectedly, a last burst of fireworks went off. I clicked the shutter and managed to get two frames before the blaze subsided. To my knowledge, these photos may well be the only ones in existence of the Eiffel Tower lit up at night with fireworks.
