Very beautiful pictures, I used to have a puzzle with one of those ceiling murals, was a great way to take a long time to study it!
ReplyDeleteThe history and architecture of this cathedral is amazing. I again went running to the internet to learn about it! It is almost incomprehensible that man can design and create such magnificence and beauty, and it remains standing today! Thanks again for taking us along on your trip!
