Description
The trip to Paris with the course was a fantastic journey as I had never really spent time in the French capital. This has to be one of my favourite photographs I took there. It was taken when on our way to see the Louvre and there was one of the archways leading to the courtyard with the iconic pyramids. The archway itself, along with the throngs of people making their way in and out, created a lovely frame for the symmetrical pieces behind.
