Bastille day fireworks don't reach the top of the Eiffel tower Today, or more accurately last night was 14th of July, Bastille day in France, where we celebrate the end of monarchy and the birth of the republic, through the destruction by the people of the symbolic Bastille prison in Paris.
Traditionnally there are some fireworks in Paris, by the Eiffel tower. Here's a shot of tonight's fireworks seen from my balcony, at the 7th floor of a 21 story building.
One thing that struck me while watching the fireworks from a high vantage point, and far enough, compared to being under them in the crowd at Trocadero, is that these mighty fireworks, which from the ground seem to fill the sky with their vivid colors, actually never go higher than two third of the heigh of the Eiffel tower.
Sometimes it's good to step away in order to see things in perspective, and discover the big picture.
