Images from pre-dawn (get there early!) of the Louvre Pyramid (architect I.M. Pei).. to the end of my visit. You can also see the robotic machine they operate to clean the windows of the pyramid (towards the end of the pictorial):

PARIS, FRANCE: CAN’T ESCAPE THE PAST

Published on by jacquelinemhadel4 Comments

You can’t escape the past in Paris, and yet what’s so wonderful about it is that the past and present intermingle so intangibly that it doesn’t seem to burden. -Allen Ginsberglouvre 186 louvre 188 louvre 189 louvre 190 louvre 191 louvre 194 louvre 195 louvre 196 louvre 198 louvre 197 louvre 200 louvre 202 louvre 201 louvre 206 louvre 207 louvre 210 louvre 211 louvre 213 louvre 209 louvre 215 louvre 193 louvre 216 louvre 212

PARIS, FRANCE: THE LOUVRE ~ JULY 28: LIBERTY LEADING THE PEOPLE by EUGENE DELACROIX

Published on by jacquelinemhadel1 Comment

I saw this for the first time today and fell in love with it. Such power. Delacroix witnessed scenes like this firsthand in the French Revolution and was inspired to create this.

First, only erected for the world’s fair of 1889. Ridiculed by many as an “eyesore,” and now the icon of France. Today’s foggy vibe made it seem very Poe-esque.
