Looking onto the courtyard of the Musee du Louvre.
On the threshold of old and new, past and present; where art meets the political, and clear panes of glass reflect time-worn stone. The threshold of the Medieval and the Renaissance; Revolution, Restoration, and the Third Republic. Surviving two World Wars and the ravages of time.

I love that city and walking around its streets…baguette in hand searching for a cafe to sit and people watch… There are some magnificent thresholds to be seen and traversed.

So much going on in this lovely photo. The “doorway” transports me to Paris (I’ve never been yet); thank you for that!

Perfect threshold, Mary. I recently watched The DaVinci Code in which this view plays an important role. Also one of my favorite stories.. I loved your take on the challenge!

I have never been to the Louvre. But I have been acquainted romantically with visitors to the place. I know, it’s Cliff Notes, but I think Paris would understand.
