Louvre Reflections

The Louvre in Paris is open late on Fridays (though it's pretty much dark anyway by 5 pm). It had been raining a bit, and I took this as we were heading for the Metro. I.M. Pei's wonderful pyramid is behind me, and one of his triangular pools provides the reflections--it was very still and there were no birds (there often are during the day).

Here's a view from the 2nd floor, showing the triangular pools; the one providing the reflections here is on the extreme right of the view in 2011, and I was at the corner of the pool nearest the pyramid. I've marked the spot quite precisely on the map (though it doesn't seem to show the pools :)
