Burnt
Start here, with this long article about the fire. I’ll wait.
This part is relevant to the photo:
Her truck stopped on the Rue du Cloître Notre-Dame, a narrow street that runs on one side of the cathedral. The building was so gigantic, she couldn’t see where the fire was spreading anymore.
“We were so small that it was hard to get a proper idea from the bottom of the cathedral,” she said. “But it might have been better like that.”
We were standing on Rue du Cloître Notre-Dame when I made this image. It’s hard to look at the photo now, especially after reading the article.

Well, of course I have to post the obligatory photo of Notre Dame’s gargoyles. Nice that I got an assist from the sky, though.

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.

Light me like a candle
It was a little disconcerting to visit the great cathedral while Mass was going on. But it did give me a couple of photographic opportunities that I would have otherwise missed.
