Before I went to Paris, I thought the Eiffel Tower was just ugly.
I still think it's ugly, but now I know it also has a quite impressive physical presence when you're basically standing right under it that doesn't really come through in pictures. I still wouldn't want to live near it, though.
I can see how it could be seen as ugly, I mean it is mostly metal beams, but I like to think that some of it's beauty comes from what it represents and it's history
it's old as fuck
