The most famous art museum in the world at night. It's also a work of art on its facade: The statues on the second floor outside are all different, having different faces and representing different people. While some feel IM Pei's pyramids outside are a detraction, others feel it adds to the artistic nuance of the place. They also let light in during the day and you can see the weather/sky from the entrance, which is down below. Paris, France.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
The composition of this photo excels....it is actually awe inspiring.... you have the complete sensation of this magnificent building in one shot. Fantastic in black and white. A real favorite.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
I agree with Vicki, that having the full structure in the shot is magnificent. I don't recall seeing the entire building in one shot before, the pyramid usually being the telling element for me. When I saw this as a thumbnail the Hill house in the 1963 movie, The Haunting, came to mind. Your capture of the Louvre, however, has no wide-angle distortion. Outstanding.
(PS: A bit of interesting trivia... Robert Wise, who directed that chilling bit of cinematography, also directed The Sound of Music! Go figure.)
