Nd - Notre Dame Tribute

: ND- Rejuvenation Optimism

Renovation irony
Cathedral Notre-dame de Paris
Burning fifteen hours

Hopes and dreams
Up in smoke? No.
Faith prevails.

Masterpiece of Gothic architecture
Will be rebuilt
Rejuvenation optimism. 

The French gave the U.S. our Statue of Liberty
Andrew Tallon has given the French the gift
of his 3-D scan of the Cathedral he took in 2000.

Built in the 12th and 13th centuries
Rebuilt in the 21st century
The heart of contemporary Paris will prevail.

LeStyrge 
Demon gargoyle
Will live to see another gothic masterpiece

Panagiota Romios April 29, 2019 at 10:07 AM They already have the one billion to rebuild it...while the Yellow Vests riot for money. Panagiota Caren Krutsinger April 29, 2019 at 11:12 PM The contrast is alarming, my friend. For sure!

Tom Cunningham April 29, 2019 at 6:01 AM Lovely tribute Caren, it was a shame but thankfully no one was hurt. Tom Caren Krutsinger April 29, 2019 at 11:12 PM Yes, it is a shame, for sure. So much lost, but rebuilding might be terrific.
