Let's get back to some straight-up tourist stuff, shall we? This, of course, is Notre Dame cathedral photographed late in the afternoon, and from the front it looks like it's never been damaged at all. But perspective isn't everything: I photoshopped out both a big, ugly crane and a big, ugly fence that runs along the entire entrance, so now it looks pristine. The fusion of medieval architecture and 21st century high tech is a grand thing indeed.
Did you try Magic Eraser on the Pixel? It is pretty magical.
Gorgeous. Beautiful building beautiful sky.
Every time I see a photo of Notre Dame cathedral, I marvel that the French once considered it to be an ugly eyesore. Of course, they apparently think Jerry Lewis was funny, too...
Hopefully you saw some of the Gargoyles? Are they even allowing folks to climb the towers?
This made me so happy....I immediately smiled. The burning of Notre Dame was seen and felt around the world as a terrible tragedy...we all watched in stupefied horror.
Ah, so many memories turned to rain-soaked ash.
But then this is the lesson of life I suppose, but for that moment today, you created a new memory, and I thank you.
Best Wishes, Traveller
