The weather during my trip changed so often, that there were moments I thought I will have no usable photos at all. There was not a single usable sunrise, but at least the sunsets were mostly great. And with just luck, together with Beboy Photostock ( Beboy photographies ) we selected the best day to go to the top of the Eiffel tower. The sunset was just epic. We were hit by wind and rain, but we keep shooting more and more photos and it was really worth it. We were of course joined by Begirl all over the world and later on also by Edward Adios (who I hope also got some great shots :))
This is a panorama from two shots, I had to take the left shot twice, as I had to shade the sun with my hand so I can remove the lens flares. Overall I used 18 brackets for this image. Taken from the top of the Eiffel tower in Paris.

Beautiful image, and ‘epic’ is indeed the right word. I think the only problem with taking photos from the Eiffel Tower is that the resulting image does not feature the Eiffel Tower, which is a shame when it comes to images of the Parisian skyline.
LOL.. yes.. but from the Tour Montparnasse 56 you get a skyline with the Eiffel Tower. And I of course have a lot of photos also from there.. even if not with such an epic sunset :)
Indeed an absolutely stunning photo! Congrats on capturing the sunset that well!
