Louvre Courtyard
Hey thanks for visiting again, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed if you haven't already. Thanks for stopping by!
The outside of the Louvre is just as stunning, grand and spectacular as the inside in my opinion, so I thought I would prove it to you.
Look how tiny the people are in comparison to the building. You have no idea how small you feel.
This one was taken from inside the pyramid entrance. It is my favorite.
Grand is the only word that seems fitting. I love the fountains against the backdrop of the facade.
I love the details, like the lampposts
While others are busy mingling around the art, I sneak peaks out of the closest window and take pictures. I love the layers in this shot. Beauty lined up one right behind the other…
Then, as the sun starts falling, I head back to the same spot to notice the subtle difference.
Here I go again…taking pictures out of the window of the courtyard below.
The colorful sky sets the backdrop and makes the whole picture. It is amazing how light can change the feel of a place.
Dusk leads to night fall. Check back next time for the magical shots of the Louvre Courtyard after dark.

Love the photos..I really like France not been to Paris though, hubby prefers Spain and Italy. I think a trip to Paris is called for. He wouldn;t mind though because of all the architecture.We always make sure there is something for the two of us to enjoy. Mine is shopping, sometimes though I would like a shopping female with me!!!
