I was the only one of our group to go down into the Bent Pyramid. There was a 80m low staircase down below ground to an inner chamber, whence another 20m or so of stairs took me up to a crawl tunnel and a second chamber.
There were rather too many people inside for my liking. Also the and stale air made the reascent a very strenuous undertaking. After you dissociate the history of where you are and what you're seeing of the ancient civilisation, actually I wouldn't recommend this endevour. But it has been done. Dhashour Pyramids site, Egypt.

Actual picture of this place to stop and sit near Pyramid Lake in Nevada. What a lonely, but beautiful area. As I was setting up my camera, those waiting for the bus showed up. For all I know they're still there.
Someone chopped a tree down that had been
growing on top of Pyramid Point and left it!
What? to get a better view?
It still has leaves growing on it, so it was from
this summer.

The Great Pyramid of Giza, also called Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu, and Pyramid of Cheops, is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo, Egypt, and is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is believed the pyramid was built as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian King Khufu (Cheops in Greek) and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Originally the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface, and what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been varying scientific and alternative theories regarding the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction theories are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place. - Wiki

"The secret loves of a bold and passionate woman."
Le musée du Louvre, inauguré en 1793 sous l'appellation Muséum central des arts de la République dans le palais du Louvre, ancienne résidence royale située au centre de Paris, est aujourd'hui le plus grand musée d'art et d'antiquités au monde. Sa surface d'exposition est de 72 735 m.
Fin 2016, ses collections comprenaient 554 731 œuvres, dont 35 000 exposées et 264 486 œuvres graphiques. Celles-ci présentent l'art occidental du Moyen Âge à 1848, celui des civilisations antiques qui l'ont précédé et influencé (orientales, égyptienne, grecque, étrusque et romaine), les arts des premiers chrétiens et de l'Islam.
Situé dans le 1er arrondissement de Paris, sur la rive droite entre la Seine et la rue de Rivoli, le musée se signale par la pyramide de verre de son hall d'accueil, érigée en 1989 dans la cour Napoléon et qui en est devenue emblématique, tandis que la statue équestre de Louis XIV constitue le point de départ de l'axe historique parisien.
En 2017, avec environ 8,1 millions de visiteurs annuels, le Louvre est le musée le plus visité au monde. Il est le site culturel payant le plus visité de France. Parmi ses pièces les plus célèbres figurent La Joconde, la Vénus de Milo, Le Scribe accroupi, La Victoire de Samothrace et le Code de Hammurabi.
Le Louvre possède une longue histoire de conservation artistique et historique, depuis l'Ancien Régime jusqu'à nos jours. À la suite du départ de Louis XIV pour le château de Versailles à la fin du xviie siècle, on y entrepose une partie des collections royales de tableaux et de sculptures antiques. Après avoir durant un siècle hébergé plusieurs académies dont celle de peinture et de sculpture, ainsi que divers artistes logés par le roi, l'ancien palais royal est véritablement transformé sous la Révolution en « Muséum central des arts de la République ». Il ouvre en 1793 en exposant environ 660 œuvres, essentiellement issues des collections royales ou confisquées chez des nobles émigrés ou dans des églises. Par la suite les collections ne cesseront de s'enrichir par des prises de guerre, acquisitions, mécénats, legs, donations, et découvertes archéologiques.
Le musée compte pour sa gestion 2 091 employés (fonctionnaires, contractuels et vacataires), dont 1 232 agents de surveillance, un garde pour chacune des 403 salles d’exposition, que complètent les effectifs affectés aux 900 caméras du système de télésurveillance

Well, I am back (kind of) from my lengthy hiatus! Been busy with work and family...
Nothing special about this capture apart from the story behind it. Was in Paris last week on a 2 day business trip. I knew it would be hectic so I just carried my p&s and a small tripod (just in case I got some opportunity to take some blue hour shots). I have been to the Louvre many times but haven't been able to take a blue hour shot there for some reason. Things looked good this time as I was preparing to wrap up my work around 5:30 pm & head for the Louvre. But then, as Murphy's Law would have it, things started to go wrong. Finally, left the office at 8:30! I had a dinner appointment with a colleague but I didn't want to leave Paris without any photos, so, I just took a cab to Louvre, took some shots with the p&s in 5 minutes before meeting up with the colleague.... too much action for just one photo!
BTW, this is mini-pano of two shots (my p&s isn't wide enough). I know I could have done better but sometimes the photo only tells half the story ;o)
Hopefully, I will be able to be actively taking photos again and would visit your photostreams soon!
