FRANCE - LE LOUVRE (05.04) - B&W/COLOR
These aren't your typical Louvre photos. In other words, I never made it to the "inside" of the Louvre to see the actual ART. But I did have a field day with the outside and the lower level architecture!

Louvre Spiral Staircase
The sleek lines of the modern staircase and the geometrical lines of the architecture were out of this world.
Pyramid #1
The pyramids of I.M.Pei were outrageous. The idea of merging them with the old architecture of the Louvre was genius to say the least.
Pyramid #2
I'm thinking "ham and cloves" on this one!
Pyramids
Coming up the elevator, I turned around and took a shot of the smaller pyramid looking thru the larger one.

Symmetry at the Louvre.
Pyramid Reflections
Here you can view it all: the ducks on the water with the reflection of the old Louvre in the glass pyramid.
The Louvre
This is the Louvre as you know it.

Louvre Doorway
I added just a little 'mystery' to this Louvre doorway.
Louvre Ducks
These fountains were home to the local ducks.
Louvre Ornament
Pyramid Staircase
The winding staircase thru the glass pyramid pulled me in for this one.
Louvre Reflections
These reflections were strickly and totally Louvre.

You've heard of the Lochness Monster.......
