Louvre & the Musée D'Orsay

louvre

My dears, here are a couple more photos I took today while wandering around Paris. These were taken with my iPhone. I took even more with my Polaroid camera (6 packets!) -- which seemed to cause a lot of attention. I looked like such a tourist, apparently, that three people tried to scam me by claiming they found my "lost ring." I knew it was a scam because most of my jewelry involves rhinestones.

Anyway, the top photo is of the Louvre. The bottom photo is a picture of one of the glass canopies at the Musée D'Orsay, such a magical place...

Musée D'orsay

More tomorrow!

so beautiful...and what pretty weather. each time i've gone to Paris in January and it's so overcast.

btw, do you edit your photos on the iphone, like on CameraBag or is this just 'as is'?

i'm inspired.

You are my neighbour ! Be also aware if you go to Eiffel Tower at night, they could steal your camera while you are shooting. It happens to a japanese friend last week. Don't forget Pierre Hermé av Paul Doumer 16è ... Miam Miam macarons... Sunny Side
