Early Spring in Paris

 

April in Paris is the iconic time to visit, but March isn't bad either.  I completely agree with the sentiment on this lock of love, attached to the fencing near Notre Dame. 

The sheer beauty of this structure never ceases to amaze me

As do the flying buttresses on the building's apsidal eastern end

And the seemingly endless sculptural decoration over the cathedral's three massive entryways

While we were inside the soaring nave

I captured these strange lights --- reflections, or orbs of spirits passed? 

You decide...
