Musée d’Orsay at Night

text description

This is a night photograph of the Orsay Museum in Paris, taken from the Port des Tuileries on the other side of the Seine River.

This is a terrible photograph—this museum is a nightmare to photograph both day and night (it’s always in shadow with the sun behind it during the day, and it has very contrasty lighting at night)—but it’s the best I have at the moment… sorry.
