2 Things Challenge: Merge / Diverge

Diverge : The Louvre Museum and I.M. Pei Pyramid : Paris, FR

This week's 2 Things Challenge is Merge / Diverge. Last weekend, I was in Paris, the City of Lights, with my sister. We had pretty busy days that started early and ended late. The first night we were in Paris, we saw the Eiffel Tower. The second night, we were at the Louvre Museum. For this week's challenge, I give you the merging lattice work of the Eiffel Tower and the diverging lines of the fountain at the Louvre.

Musée Metropolitan

Montmartre Metro : Paris, FR

I'm making a bit of a stretch with the title and paying homage to Paris as a city of world-renowned museums and art and an equally well-known transit system, the Paris Metro. Today's photos feature art that can only be enjoyed if you're willing to climb the stairs from the depths of Paris' deepest Metro station to the exit up top at Montmartre. If we'd taken the elevator, we would have missed these. Fortunately (??), the elevator was closed for maintenance, so we had to hoof it. I'm glad we had no choice.
