We went down to the city this morning for the Good Friday church service. The soaring ceiling and stained glass windows made me think of Notre Dame Cathedral.
I have recently been scanning photographs and turning them into slide shows, including our Grand Tour of Europe done 35 years ago so the cathedral's flying buttresses and beautiful rose window were already fresh in my mind when I heard the news of the awful fire this week.
I remember scanning pics, too. It was 2004 and the scanner was so slow I could do a quick shopping inbetween one take.
ReplyDeleteYes, horrible what happened, I wonder how the fire started. And I don´t think it´ll only take 4-5 years to rebuld Notre Dame...
Scanning is pretty fast these days otherwise I would not do it.
DeleteThankfully the damage wasn't as bad as it could have been, hopefully it won't take too long to restore. Happy Easter Joan Elizabeth ✨
ReplyDeleteI think it will be a while getting things back in order.
DeleteYes it was such a shame to see the cathedral burning. I imagine the restoration work will take a very long time.
ReplyDeleteI am sure they will fast track it as much as they can.
DeleteI do hope they get the restoration right and not too modern.
ReplyDeleteThey put that glass prism thing in the courtyard of the Louvre so you never know what they will decide to do this time - maybe a glass spire. I don't envy the decision makers.
DeleteA beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteI always love stained glass.
