Pére waits for confession

The cathedral was crowded – with tourists and worshippers – but no one was in need of confessing anything. So the Father filled his by time looking at his computer.

Altar Cloth

I have a weird fascination with the mundane parts of grand places. And so it happened that here in the great cathedral, I was drawn in by the starchy white of this altar cloth.

May get there eventually

Seriously? Again with the clichés? I almost have it out of my system.

The only possible thing that might salvage this is that the woman down the stairs a few turns has almost the same image on the screen of her phone.

Eventually, she and I made it to the bottom of the stairs and outside in the Parisian evening.

City View

I don’t think I did all that much better getting non-clichéd shots when I got to the top… This is the view down the Champs Élysées, and way, way back there, on the left horizon is Sacré Coeur.

Arch

This is the same general situation I was in at the Eiffel Tower – how to get a fresh image of an iconic building. So, anyway, here the Arc de Triomphe, in a view you’ve no doubt seen before.
