Through the glass and steel of I. M. Pei's Pyramid, is seen a full moon and Pavillon de l'Horloge, architecture from different centuries gracing the Napoleon Courtyard of the Louvre.

Un petit morceau de pyramide... Voilà, en effet, une architecture bien différente de celles auxquelles tu nous as habituées, Génie!
I would say this is XXI century Paris, with a touch of always.
Beautyful contrast between the straight and squares lines, and the moon above, all in curves..A symbol of the relationships between ephemeral and ever lasting?..
Beautifully captured, Genie.
Have a great weekend!
it's a beautiful photo
I love this, Genie. Wishing you a magical weekend...
What a stunning photo Genie,lovely composition......looking back in time through a modern structure to the historic Louvre and the ancient moon.
Happy weekend!

Great photo. I like the incorporation of the moon. I would imagine that this modern architecture in the midst of such history would have created quite a controversy.
Wow, a great photo. A whole new way to look at the piramid.
as if it's caught in a man-made web. beautiful shot.
Yes, beautiful shot Genie.
Fantastic angle! That April moon was majestic! Love your photos ... Loved being there as you were taking them! Bon weekend!!!
What a magical shot Genie! I mean, the Louvre is magical just by itself. But even more so with the perfectly round moon!
Interesting shot!
Pei did our museum here. Quite a mind.
What a brilliant shot Genie, and I love Brattcat's comment, she is spot on! Love the mixture of old and new with the moon ever watching over the whole scene. Hope you have a wonderful weekend Genie.
Intriguing photo, Genie! The moon amid all the glass and reflections.
Nice one! Through the pyramid at night, perfect!
I love this Genie. Très belle!

Super lines and great angles! Another winner...
Great subjet of reflection, the pyramid of the Louvre by night... And you point to the detail that make it so precious, with this moon relfection... Well done !
awesome photo Genie!
Awesome & Great photo Genie!
I've always wanted to see the Louvre in person.
You definitely photographed this from a different perspective which is pretty cool!
Are there a lot of tourists at this location?
An interesting idea to the photography!
can you even imagine today that this Pei Pyramid was such a controversial idea in its day ! and look at your awesome photo now!
bon weekend à toi également!
Nice.
Very cool! Can't wait to see it in person.

Congratulations on a completely different view of a much-photographed structure. I have looked at this for ages - it's fascinating.
Lines and angles always intrigue me and this photo definitely is a keeper. Love the perspective as well as the capture of the moon.
That's an awesome shot Genie. Bon weekend :)
Genie,
This is a fascinating photo. The moon's reflection through all that steel and glass.
Kris

Amazing photo!!!
Are you kidding me? And I almost missed this!
Well spotted and a great combination.
The old, the new, and the timeless all in one photograph.
Thank you for you considerate comments... I think that Pet first summed it up as " XXI Paris with a touch of always."
And brattcat added "man-made web."
We are in the midst of terrible weather with sketchy power and Internet - I hope that I will be back tomorrow.
Bises
Genie
