The Eiffel Tower, “Shepherd of the clouds”, must be also a hub for birds, especially for the dove, angel of peace.

Standing elegantly high above Paris roofs, the Eiffel Tower must be very sensitive to the seasons and the weather. As a watching angle, She must be very sympathetic to the human conditions under the roofs. Yet aloof and timeless, she welcomes birds of every kind, to fly by, above, through, or rest, singing or cooing. In this painting by T. F. Chen who has studies under the Eiffel Tower for twelve years, Paris is a cosmopolitan capital of the world, welcoming all peoples and cultures from every corner of the world. The world fair of Paris in 1900 marked an international relationship which has been developing towards a globalization of a world culture to come. As world peace becomes the main concern of the 21st century, Paris with its multiple-culturalism can be the best stage for dialogue among different civilizations as the Eiffel Tower enjoys to be home to all birds, especially the pigeon.
