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.

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.

Unexpected

Traffic cones were definitely not what I thought I’d see at Versailles! And you know what else? Way down there, at the end of the row of cones, there’s razor wire.
