Arriving at the Louvre in the Late Evening
Updated the Sony A7r Review
I’ve just added more photos and info to the Sony A7r Review here on the site – check it out! 🙂
Does anyone know the history here?
So, I do like the photo I posted today, but there is ONE thing that REALLY bothers me. When you see it, you can’t unsee it. Go ahead… take a moment to look.

Did you see it? You see how there is not real symmetry here? The triangle is right in the middle, but if you follow that hallway straight, then it is way off to the side. It’s not even close, really, even though everything else around the Louvre is symmetrical and perfectly placed. I can’t figure out why this one particular (and major north/south corridor) is so off-center, and I was wondering if there is a reason for it. It must have been some major problem in the construction that no one realized until later. And I’m sure it bothered everyone that was involved with the process… anyway, probably going down a rat hole here…
Daily Photo – Arriving at the Louvre in the Late Evening
No matter how you approach the Louvre it is impressive. The entire building is the Louvre — that pyramid bit is just the entrance. I remember when I was a kid and they built that pyramid bit and how controversial it was. Now I can’t imagine this place without it! It would be even better if there was total symmetry with all the interdependent hallways (*ahem*!)
