Athena Plichta Photography

We only got up close to this oft-photographed monument once, and it was on the day that France and Spain were playing against each other in the Euro Games (soccer, and Spain won).

My biggest regret is not reserving lift tickets in advance and therefore missing out on the chance to get a different perspective from up above. Next time (there's always a next time)...
