City of Light

From the observation deck on top of the immensely ugly Tour Montparnasse in Paris, you have two major advantages: firstly, from the tower you don't actually see the skyscraper itself, and secondly, the top floor offers an amazing view over the city.

This was on July 14, or Bastille Day. My next upload will be a shot from the firework and drone show from and around the Tour Eiffel.

Paris Skyline

For Quatorze Juillet, or the French national holiday known as Bastille Day, I had booked tickets on top of Tour Montparnasse, the ugliest building in Paris. The really nice thing about this skyscraper, though, is that the observation deck on the roof offers a spectacular view over the city. This was at sunset. Little over an hour later, the roughly 30 minute long fireworks and drone show around the Eiffel Tower would start. It was amazing to witness that from this spot.

Soon, a few photography friends and I will be presenting each other our best shots of the past year. And with selecting your best shots, comes the dismissal of the ones you really like, but ultimately don't make the cut. I will be sharing those shots here, in chronological order. This is number 7 of 19.

Dobellus Duży Lake, Poland

The reservoir has a surface area of 0.042 km². Its maximum width is 430 m and its length is 100 m. It is an example of a ribbon lake of glacial origin.

The second lake, Dobellus Mały, is located nearby. Both lakes formed in clearly defined depressions resulting from the action of a glacier approximately 12,000 years ago.

On the eastern shore of the reservoir, there are shelters and a pier. An observation tower was built nearby. From its terrace, you can admire panoramic views of both lakes, as well as the bridges in Stańczyki. It was from there that I took this photo. :)
