Once In A Lifetime Shot: Moon, Eifel Tower, And Olympic Rings Perfectly Aligned

Although the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 have not yet started, a photo that can claim the title of the best shot of the event has already appeared. On the night of 21st July, the near-full Moon was perfectly positioned in the middle of the Olympic rings of the Eiffel Tower, and a photographer captured this moment.

The Moon appeared right in the middle of one of the Olympic rings, which were displayed at the renowned illuminated Parisian landmark to celebrate the upcoming games.

Who took the historic photo

This image was taken by photographer Greg Martin. His photograph is definitely worth a thousand words, but even that isn’t enough to explain how stunning and beautiful it is!

“A rare occasion to capture something like this, especially when the Olympic rings are on the Eiffel Tower. The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are going to be incredible, and what’s more, with the venues at the foot of iconic locations like this, we are in for amazing games!” he wrote on his Instagram.

Greg Martin’s image went viral on social media and was shared by the Olympics’ official profile, Jeux Olympiques, on X.
