The Good Friday plans of many Parisians and tourists alike
were shattered on Monday when…
Notre Dame de Paris burned.
Approximately 30,000 people visit
Notre Dame de Paris everyday.
And likely thousands more visit
over the Easter period.
It is unlikely that any, of the many Easter services
and celebrations will be conducted
anywhere near Notre Dame, this year.
I think these are some of the statues of
the Twelve Apostles, plus four Evangelists,
which surrounded the Spire.
These had all been removed only
a day or two prior to he fire.
Today, Good Friday appears to bring some good news
as far as items saved are concerned.
Let us all be thankful for small mercies.

We visited
Notre Dame Cathedral
in September,

Built 800 years ago.
Took 200 Years to build.
And a mere six hours to burn…

Observation Deck on the 148th floor (555 m or 1,821 ft).
This was the highest observation deck in the world

optional
available to be chosen but not obligatory.
During our visit to Europe in 2016
there optional extras nearly every day…
…such as this Gondola ride in Venice, and…
…a night at the Moulin Rouge in Paris.
After a twenty-four hour plane trip to London
we just could not pass up
on any of these ‘optionals’

I did have thoughts of…
…using an assortment of images…
…from our visit to Europe.
Then I found these, most of which…
I have never previously posted.
Our last night in Paris proved enjoyable
from a photography sense and
a great way to end our visit.
