When visiting a place as famous, enormous, and iconic as the Louvre, I had a difficult time determining what to photograph. Its pyramids are instantly recognizable. People fill the courtyards. Fountains add dimensions of sight and sound. I found I was drawn to the architecture, with stone edifices punctuated with ornate carving and statuary. The arched passageways not only provided the way in and out, but also framed views of people and buildings. Occasionally, a view from the interior would catch part of the Louvre's architecture and present a scenic view of the city. It's an amazing, beautiful place. I look forward to returning to continue my exploration.

The wildflower garden near one of the entrances to the Louvre presented a pleasing palette of colors.
