I believe that this is the dome of the Institut de France. I'm looking south through a window in the Pavillon des Arts at the Louvre, in the ground-level passage between the palace's Cour Carrée and the Pont des Arts on the Seine. The Institut is where the famous Académie Française meets.

We're down to freezing again this morning, but just barely. It's enough to ice over the car windows. It'll warm up a little when the sun rises. Then things are supposed to warm up some more as another minor rain system comes in on Sunday. I'm looking forward to the equinox (still six or so weeks to go) and to moving the clocks ahead again. And spring. Winter has been mild, but it's not really outdoor weather.
I want to wash that window. Such a grand view — inside and out.
