Pavillon de Flore


The light was really wonderful last evening (well around 4:30 pm), when I came back home - and so was the sky. You know me: I stopped right in the middle of the street and took a photo ;-) This is Le Pavillon de Flore by the way, it's part of the Le Louvre and it was before part of the Tuileries Palace (its construction began in 1595). Really beautiful.

  5. I probably wrote this years ago, but in 2005 my two painter pals said they understood why so many painters went to Paris through history. There is something about the sky and the light...

  6. Si j'étais une statue, je serai une statue de Maillol, Jardin des Tuileries.
    Si j'étais un lieu, je serai un café de Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
    Si j'étais un bâtiment, je serai donc ce pavillon ...
    Si j'étais un pseudo, je serai ...

    Je ne savais pas tout ça et j'aime bien découvrir des choses sur ce double sublimé qu'est ... Flore ;-)

  13. Eric Darlin,
    Allow me to gush over this photo svp. IT's stunning. I love it when I reconize the subject immediately ( well I guess everyone on the planet knew it was le Louvre! ). The sky is magnificent and the light is parfait.
