Louvre Courtyard

written by robin

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.
