La solution au casse-tête

So, here is the answer to the puzzling photo of yesterday. 

The afternoon sun was shining on the frieze of 

the building on the opposite site of the Cour Napoleon (Louvre) which is

the Pavilion Richelieu. The image of the 

frieze is seen as a reflection off the interior back wall

  (yes, through the round opening). 

It was a special moment.

Watched this sweet couple as they took multiple selfies

in front of the impressive façades that form the 

Cour Napoleon of the Louvre.

Monsieur had his digital slr around his neck,

but Madame was adept with the phone.

Although the installation of I M Pei's glass and metal

pyramids at the Louvre must have been met with the ire

of many, the attraction to this large icon of Paris has withstood

the test of nearly three decades.

It is a kinetic sculpture of sorts with

an ever-changing view depending on the time of day,

the weather, and the season.
