Rain Over the Louvre (Weekend Street/Reflections # 236)

 

Paris, France

Rain cascaded over Paris, tracing the ancient lines of the Louvre's stone facade and pooling around the glass pyramid, a modern heart beating amid the city's timeless pulse. The Arc de Triomphe du carrousel loomed faintly through the mist, its arches guarding echoes of revolutions past. The Seine, unseen but felt, murmured beneath the wet streets, weaving through a metropolis where every raindrop seemed to carry the weight of centuries—history, art, and resilience fused into the city's soul.

                                                     Have a great weekend!

Looks like a very modern scene, the buildings look like pyramids

I did not know there are two pyramids there! I was fortunate to live in an im pei building society Hill towers in Philadelphia. He also built the Kennedy theater here in Honolulu on the University of Hawaii campus

Those are iconic glass pyramids, so most people know exactly where they are. Fine photo of this plaza.

Beautiful - and indeed, in B&W, it could be any time (since the pyramid was built - 80s?)
