Seen here is one of the courtyards in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

I've previously featured The Louvre in my previous posts, including a view of the Louvre and the Glass Pyramid. I also posted an image of one of the ceilings in the Louvre. And the most recent post was from inside the Museum.

What can you discover in this shot? There's that family of four having their picture taken in front of the fountain. On the left side of the frame, there is a group of four, walking in step. On the left side of the fountain, a woman sits while outstretching her hand to take a self-portrait. On the right side of the fountain are six bicyclists. I don't think they're going inside the Louvre, but they are exploring the immense grounds of the Museum.

But the number one reason I am posting this shot is because I want to share something with you all. On Flickr, they have recently created this thing called Galleries. The feature allows any Flickr user to curate a set of up to eighteen images on any subject they choose. Initially, I was resistant to creating galleries (because I focus on creating content rather than distributing it), but yesterday, I decided that I would create one. I am now realizing that by sharing what I think is excellent work, you can also get a further glimpse into what I envision makes for a great photograph (or a set of photographs).

With that in mind, I created a gallery of images of the Louvre Museum. None of the images featured are mine. So without further ado, check out the Louvre Museum Gallery. I provide brief descriptions of why I included the image in the gallery. If you're on Flickr, feel free to chime in with your thoughts of other worthy additions that I might have missed. It's pretty cool being a curator, even in the online world!
