I've been fortunate to do two night shoots at the Louvre. In the evening it's a magical place to be. The pyramids sparkle like giant diamonds! I think I might have shot this at the same time as the photograph below.
Arrested for drinking Champagne in Paris? That just seems all wrong! (Though I do know that you can picnic in Pere Lachaise but can't drink wine there.) This shot is just as magical as yesterday's—even with a little help from your friends, you have a very steady hand, Virginia!
Your photos of Paris are so colorful and vibrant. What a difference from mine – I just published a post showing some drab dark postcards of the flooding in Paris 100 years ago. It’s hard to imagine the Louvre under water, but I have a postcard on that too.
Can we take a bottle of bubbly and sit there and drink it? Or will the gendarmes come and arrest us?
ReplyDeleteI'm game, you?

ReplyDeleteVagabonde, I have plenty of gray, rainy Paris photos!
ReplyDeleteALexa, Surely we won't get dragged off for sipping at the Louvre. I"ve done it at nearby Tuileries! :)
Mary, I'm game!
Chieftess,
It's hard to take a bad photo at the Louvre!
This is a great shot, and right beside the Louvre is not a bad place to have a few sips of bubbly.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. I love the shapes and light.
ReplyDeleteStarman and T. Becque,
ReplyDeleteThank you, I"m pleased you liked them. Hopefully, bubbly to come. If it happens, I'll have some photos.

I love the 'filament' look the wires/grid/lines give it
ReplyDeleteThe twilight and the framing make this an interesting variant on a popular theme
ReplyDeleteThat place is definitely magical, Virginia. I do like your perspective on it.
