Was sitting in the spot for maybe 1hr waiting for the wind to stop - but that's the best what could I get that time .
The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) is a large glass and metal pyramid designed by Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei. Located in the main courtyard of the Louvre Palace, it serves as the main entrance to the museum. Completed in 1989, it has become a landmark of the city of Paris.

Thanks to Will Atkins for showing me these beauties!
So this farmer collected all the boulders in his field and used them to construct a 30x30x17m pyramid! I took nearly 300 25 second exposures at f/4 and IOS 1250 (while light painting the pyramid), and stacked them in StarStax to create this image. See also my Milky Way photo over the pyramid:

Neat building. Wonder how long it'll be around for. The front's propped up still so I wonder if they're gonna build something and keep the facade? Meh... who knows.. time will tell. :)

Und obenauf eine kleine Pyramide...
El amarillo siempre ha sido un color muy alegre y amigable. Se irradia alegría de vivir y fuerza y, por lo tanto, da felicidad a cualquiera que los vea. La "Rudbeckia" con su colo amarillo brillante y una pequeña pirámide encima hace que en cada jardín se vean caras sonrientes.
El amarillo también es el color de la envidia y, por lo tanto, sea cuidado, ...como un regalo de flores.

From the lovely mountain settlements of Otro valley, the sun rises above the great pyramid of Monte Tagliaferro, the Ironcutter.

Panoramic view of Giza pyramid complex. The first three pyramids are called queens pyramid and are part of the funerary complex of the Mykerinos pyramid. Mykerinos is the smallest pyramid of giza (63 m). Behind Mykerinos stands Khephren. Khephren was the father of Mykerinos. We can see at the top the original coating that covered all pyramids in the past. Khephren bigger than mykerinos (143,5 m). The third pyramid is Kheops, also called great pyramid of Giza. Kheops was the grand-father of Mykerinos (146,6 m). Kheops pyramid has been built 4500 years ago.

Vue panoramique sur le plateau de Gizeh. Les trois premières pyramides sont appelées pyramides des reines et font parties du complexe funéraire de la pyramide de Mykérinos. Mykérinos est la plus petite des trois pyramides de Gizeh (63 m). Derrière Mykérinos se tient Khephren. Khephren était le père de Mykérinos. On peut voir au sommet le revêtement d'origine qui couvrait toutes les pyramides dans le passé. Khephren est plus grande que Mykérinos (143,5 m). La troisième pyramide est celle de Khéops, aussi appelée grande pyramide de Gizeh. Khéops était le grand père de Mykérinos (146,6 m). La pyramide de Khéops a été construite il y a 4500 ans.
Yesterday evening's trip to the Plain was just a delight ... wildflowers everywhere ... more Pyramidal Orchids than I've ever seen before!

The pyramid used as an entrance in the Louvre's courtyard has the exact same proportions as the Great Pyramid of Giza. The choice of this figure also serves as a reminder of the importance of the Egyptian antiquities collection inside the museum, as does the Obelisk in Place de la Concorde not far from there, the other side of the Jardin des Tuileries. At its base, the pyramid measures 116 feet wide and 70 feet high. 95 tons of steel and 105 tons of aluminum support the structure
The most remarquable thing of this picture is that there are no people around!

I took some pictures after work tonight. This one is the Louvre's pyramid. I didn't have any tripod with me so I had to improvise! I also forgot to switch back from JPEG to RAW and therefore the quality is not as good as I would like it to be. I will go back there with more gears in the next few days. Feel free to tell me what you think!
