Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else. - Joseph Campell

Notre Dame

I have been slowly putting up pictures on Instagram.  I took a couple of thousand pictures when I went to Europe in 2010.  I've had a terrible time organizing them.  I actually want to make a coffee table book, just another thing on my to-do list.

Although I didn't have the best time in France, I did see some incredibly beautiful things, Notre Dame being one of  them.  I really liked how these shots turned out.  I used the Lo-Fi filter.  They look pretty cool.  The first shot is of the front, of course, the second is of a side door, and the third is of the back.  The back was actually a really pretty park.  I loved the spires on the back side as well.

Historical factoids (courtesy of Wiki):

  • Notre Dame de Paris = Our Lady of Paris
  • French Gothic Architecture
  • Construction was started in 1163 and completed in 1345
