This entry, I must admit, is cheating. I didn't actually go into the Louvre when I took these photos, my only visit to the collections themselves being way back in easter 2004 or something, when I was too young to appreciate the artefacts and art on display themselves, never mind take photographs that could do the architecture any justice. However, I couldn't help myself and wanted to share these pictures that I took outside the museum at sunset when I was in Paris at easter. I think they capture the beauty of the famous glass pyramid, and the juxtaposition between this and the older, 17th and 19th century buildings, rather well.
The first of these photos was taken on my Nikon, and the rest are from my (now fortunately deceased) awful HTC camera. The fact that they actually manage to look pretty respectable acts as an illustration to the overwhelming beauty of the Louvre at dusk!
