Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

My husband and I were walking in Paris on a crisp fall night when we were drawn by some lights and music coming from a courtyard. We walked through a dimly lit corridor where a lone violinist was stringing a beautiful melody and we paused for a few moments to listen to his music. As we continued down the corridor, the lights of the Louvre pyramid came into view and I actually let out a gasp because I had never imagined it to look so mesmerizing. Every direction I turned, I was amazed by the grandeur I witnessed. I took out my camera and set up my tripod and for the next hour, took photos of every conceivable angle. There has never been another single sight that took my breath away as much as the nighttime Louvre.
