When I was young, I heard about the story of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I even saw the film but could not recall what it was all about. What I remember until now is the misshapen bellringer that would scare me and made me not to watch the film again. He seemed to be mysterious and aloof to people. Anyway, I’ve learned later that it was a novel by Victor Hugo made into different film adaptations and even musical.
Seeing this Notre Dame Cathedral is not creepy at all. In fact, it’s magnificent architecture is admirable in all aspects. It’s sculptures and stained glass show the heavy influence of naturalism. This Gothic Cathedral is still used as a Roman Catholic cathedral and is the seat of the Archbishop of Paris. I’d love to visit the cathedral again after reading the novel so to create a feeling of being there in the place and in the story.
It is a magnificent architecture. Looks like a nice lovely place to visit. I just love visiting all these old buildings with a history of its own, unfortunately they’re all so far away and costs just too much to actually travel all the way there … sigghhh …
I’m sure you also have magnificent architecture in your place, Nick. And don’t worry, when you have the resources to travel, those historical buildings are still there 🙂
Actually I went to this place 4 years ago. And the gothic actually left and right not same..It’s good to pray and nice place
I agree with you, Franx. And I want to go back there again.
Fren,
Ang galing mo tlaga sa photography. I love your shots, amiga. Math major ako pero ang fav subject ko nung college eh Humanities kaya atat na atat ako sa mga ganyang photos. Cguro dahil sa age ko na rin. Hahaha!
Fren, ngayon lang naman din ako na-engganyo sa photography nang maimbento ang digital camera. You should try it at siguradong ma-eenjoy ka.
