When Notre Dame de Paris burned, the first thing I thought of was the museum at Notre Dame in Reims, where they have gargoyles with lead from the melted roof that solidified while gushing out of their mouths.
It’s rather painterly for a photograph, particularly in the details of the ceiling and the wooden structures in the left foreground. The perspective is hard to grasp, evoking Escher.

Super-beautiful photo. Big Piranesi vibes.

Delivers big time on a sense of immensity along with really interesting colors.

As we can see here, Reims was rebuilt, and remains impressive: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/debate-over-rebuilding-ensued-when-beloved-french-cathedral-was-shelled-during-wwi-180971999/.

Very nice. Maybe I should try going to church more often.
