Saturday Snapshot

We just got back from our vacation to London and Paris a week ago. I think this is my favorite picture from our whole trip (of course, I could say that for about ten different pictures - at least). This is a view of the Louvre, through a giant clock in the Musée d'Orsay.

I love the perspective on this. I can see why it's a favorite.

I like the perspective too! I think it's much more interesting than if you'd taken it more lined up with the clock.

What a great picture. I did for one minute think you were going to say it was from the inside of Big Ben.

Your photo has given me itchy feet - twice over! When I first saw it, I also thought Big Ben and wished I could be back there...then when you said it was Paris I wanted to be there too :-)

Thanks! I'm glad you all enjoyed the picture. I do need to give credit to my husband, since he took the picture - but I was the one who suggested the shot. I wish you could take a picture from inside Big Ben - wait, can you? I'll have to find out!

That is a great picture! We loved looking out the clocks in the Musee d'Orsay but didn't think to take a photo.

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
