Description
I marvel at the amount of treasure there is to see in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. I think if I were to spend three days there I still wouldn't be able to look at every item in it even for a few seconds. Every painting, statue, or piece of armour vies for my attention and, at the end of the day, I find that I have taken hundreds (thousands?) of photos trying to capture everything I see. But what surprises me is that the rooms, themselves, are decorated with as much artistic detail as a Michelangelo painting. So I try to pry my eyes away from the paintings and look up. This is where I find opulent reliefs that leave me in awe, wondering who had painstakingly taken the time and care to create them and put them there.
