A is for Angel

This is a picture of a picture I took when I visited the Louvre in the summer of 1998. It was a whirlwind tour.  People say you need at least a week to appreciate the Louvre, but we had one day.  But when I passed by this sculpture, the light coming through the side window, the illusion of weightlessness of the marble wings, the beautiful arc of the woman's arm, they all stopped me midstride.

It made me realize that it wasn't so much that I saw the entire Louvre, but what I got out of it.  I realized that I could site here in front of this scene for the rest of the day and it would still have been time well spent.
