Beautiful indeed. Wish I would have gotten closer to it when I was in Paris.

I have seen our new tower in Avala, it is finished and I will check if it is possible to go on top of it; I think they opened it for public recently. Then I will make a post about it.
No, it is not famous as Eiffel tower but represents a symbol of Belgrade

Does it have pretty lights? Oooh Ahhhh!

(will settle for bright shiny keys if lights not available.)

Gorgeous shot, Edward. Thanks for sharing that. Sometimes we forget about the beauty around us.

I know I tend to forget. Speaking of which I'm watching CNN.

Don't worry though. It's nap time.

celebrating 120th Bday is a great reason to turn shinny! that was on 10/15/09 ..I wonder if the Lightshows will continue for 120 days

@ Angeliki.

You know I did something on it July 2008 and as I remember they were only going to have them up a week or so. But there they are, still there.

I have a feeling that maybe they were so popular that they decided to make them permanent -- even if they aren't very energy efficient. I sure hope so.

In any case I've seen her in many pretty colors since then.

it will be a blessing if they do, cost might be a not very favorable fact however.. But again In France everything is possible

you might enjoy this post on it,
(this bloger mentioned 3 months of lightshows)

Hey thanks for the link I would like to see that light show on the Citrogen site he mentioned.

Let's see, 8:00 Paris time is ? PM Spokane time...OMG I hate math!

Angeliki # 17. November 2009, 03:13

We're in this kind of light vortex here in Spokane with it being a valley. Tough to see stuff. If it's 3 your time it would be midnight here -- that easy math I can do!

Angeliki # 17. November 2009, 03:46

math does not suck if you live in Spokane!

Edward Piercy # 17. November 2009, 21:57

Well Angeliki I finally figured it out.

Paris is UTC +1 and Spokane is UTC -8.

So that's a nine hour difference, which means that 8:00 PM in Paris is 11:00 AM in Spokane.

That would be 2:00 PM NYC time.
