Wow - the capture of a lifetime!

Nice, but the caption is slightly over exaggerated! Firstly, the lightning has hit something behind the Tower and secondly, it's lit up blue with lights, not by the lightning!

Awesome shot!

Some parts of the bolt appear to be in front of the tower, while other parts appear to be behind it... It does look like it is going right through the middle of it. They didn't say that the lightning made it glow blue, just that it was glowing blow as it was struck (which is true).

I guess the lightning actually was behind it though... It still looks like it's being struck though - neat illusion, I guess.

Too bad that's not the real eiffel tower...

It looks like two images. One of a lightning bolt, one of the eiffel tower replica. Both merged then some manipulation done. Well to me at least.

I actually liked the first link below the eiffel tower photo much more.
