A night view of the large glass pyramid by I.M. Pei, which now acts as the main entrance of the Louvre Museum in Paris.

La pyramide du Louvre est une pyramide constituée de verre et de métal, située au milieu de la cour Napoléon du musée du Louvre à Paris. Elle abrite l'entrée principale du musée.
Commandée par François Mitterrand en 1983, la pyramide a été conçue par l'architecte sino-américain Ieoh Ming Pei. La structure métallique qui supporte le parement en verre est faite d'acier et d'aluminium et pèse 200 tonnes ; elle s'élève à 21,64 mètres sur une base carrée de 35,42 mètres de côté. Elle est recouverte de 603 losanges et de 70 triangles en verre et est la première grande construction à utiliser le verre feuilleté.

Pyramid Lake is the geographic sink of the Truckee River Basin, 40 mi northeast of Reno. Pyramid Lake is fed by the Truckee River, which is mostly the outflow from Lake Tahoe. The Truckee River enters Pyramid Lake at its southern end.

The small pyramid of Sahure at Abusir, a complex of 5th-Dynasty royal burials a few km north of Saqqara. In the foreground is the well-preserved pavement of its causeway leading up to the mortuary temple at the base of the pyramid. Pyramids of this era were far less ambitious than the 4th-dynasty tombs at Giza.

Explore #340. La Pirámide del Museo del Louvre es una obra situada en el patio del Museo del Louvre, en París, que da acceso al edificio. Fue diseñada por el arquitecto Ieoh Ming Pei. De estilo internacional, esta pirámide de vidrio y aluminio fue inaugurada en el año 1989 por el entonces presidente francés, François Mitterrand.
Tiene una altura de 21,6 m y un total de 673 paneles de vidrio laminado transparente divididos en 603 rombos y 70 triángulos.1 El peso total de la estructura es de 180 toneladas. La inclinación de sus paredes, al igual que ocurre con las pirámides egipcias, es de 51º.
Su centro de gravedad coincide con el de los tres pabellones del museo, Richelieu al norte, Denon al sur y Sully al este. Ésta pirámide es la principal y más grande de las pirámides de cristal del museo, que incluye, a nivel subterráneo, otra pirámide pero invertida. Antes de construirse la pirámide, la entrada al Louvre tenía unas largas colas. Con su construcción, además de solucionarse el problema, se aumenta el espacio de exposición del museo.
Desde su construcción, la pirámide ha estado sujeta a polémicas, debido al contraste de estilos entre la modernidad del vidrio y el clasicismo del museo, si bien ha servido de inspiración para las ampliaciones de muchos otros museos.
What secrets lay within this ancient artifact?
Found this rather odd prism pyramid in a charity shop.
The Pyramid of Djoser, located near the ancient town of Memphis, Egypt is sometimes called the Stepped Pyramid or the Pyramid of Saqqara.
It's the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt and was built in the 27th century BC - an astonishing age. It was originally clad with polished white limestone but that's all gone now.
It's located about 15km (9miles) South-east of the more-famous Great Pyramid of Giza.

On a flight to Frankfurt to see pyramids of a different nature, I looked down and saw the peak in the Pyramid group Dennis Brown and I climbed on an epic weekend trip back in 1970. What a trip down memory lane! Lake Garibaldi and Black Tusk, along with other landmarks in the background.

Good numbers of Pyramidal Orchids in the Orchid Meadow of Pleasley Pit, Derbyshire. However, probably due to the weather of May and June most are tall and slender and on the small side.

Pyramid Mountain - Jasper National Park - Alberta, Canada
Although I had originally planned on shooting Pyramid Lake on my last night in Jasper, I ended up there a night early. When I saw the forecast taking a turn for the worse, I knew this was a location I couldn't miss. I arrived around 3am local time (5am for me) and set up a D800E on my Dynamic Perception Stage 1 and a second D800E on my Feisol tripod to shoot the star trails. Even with the Moon lighting up the sky, the amount of stars visible was just amazing. Clouds rolled through for a brief period, but it was definitely worth the trip. It ended up being one of my favorite places and images from the park. If you haven't seen it, please check out my timelapse from Jasper here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=grAz87CdefI

The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built. The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.Giza is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu (also known as the "Great Pyramid" and the "Pyramid of Cheops"); the somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre (or Kephren); the relatively modest-sized Pyramid of Menkaure (or Mykerinus), built around 2500 years BC
