I couldn’t help but notice kids trying to drop things off the Eiffel Tower, sticking their grubby little mittens through the railing with a mischievous look on their faces. I thought about the damage even a small coin would do to someone’s head if it fell from such a hight. That got me wondering if there was any sort of netting used to prevent things from being thrown to the street below.
I couldn’t get my head through the railing, but I did manage to carefully get my X100T with the WCL-X100 wide-angle conversion lens attached to fit through. With the strap around my neck, I pointed the camera down toward the street and captured a single frame. The picture was just supposed to let me see what was over there, otherwise, I would have taken more than one.
If you look closely you will see all sort of things that have been dropped over the side by mischievous or clumsy humans. The worst of which are coins and metal keyrings in the shape of the Eiffel Tower.
