Strasbourg Cathedral,
bursts into color,
during Palm Sunday full moon.
all over the city,
while city squares erupt in color!
Strasbourg itself is full of color,
both in the buildings and the rivers.
Jim adds to the colorful variety,
while Strasbourgians bring the color indoors!
Cheers to you from the stunning old city of Strasbourg~
These are wonderful photos Cindy. 🙂

I would love to travel with you. You see things in a way no one else does. The photos are so stunning, especially the wisteria. I always think of Germany when I hear the name Strasbourg, but most of it is in France. 🙂 Guess that’s why I didn’t get to visit. Hope you are continuing to have wonderful travels.

Ah, you are very kind and your comment touches my heart. ❤ I would love to travel with you too, and am glad we are doing so virtually. I constantly mix up Strasbourg with Germany, it was German at various times in history, so the confusion is understandable. I am enjoying all the Easter celebrations in France right now, but will be in Germany for Easter.

That is what the cathedral did to me too. Induced awe. It is SO tall. It looms up like some ancient skyscraper, making one marvel at how humans built this with scaffolding, over a period of 500 years. There was supposed to be a second tower. I think they got tired and decided to rest! Love to hear your thoughts Jackie. Thank you.

He has a whole room devoted to them. My favorite one is this rock clock with these two stones on a rope attached to a gear. As one drops to the bottom you pull down the other stone which continues to rotate the hands on the face. I’m not sure how many hours it takes for each stone to drop to the bottom, but it’s a fascinating idea that someone had when they developed this clock for telling time. :O)

We, too, are drawn to cathedrals wherever we travel. There’s not much like them being built today, so we have to appreciate what remains of the remarkable architecture and detail. We always ask ourselves, “How’d they do that?” Especially when we consider that they didn’t have the technology and machinery we have today!
LikeLike
Visiting ancient cathedrals becomes addictive, not just for the beauty which you mention, but mostly for the sense of spiritual calm you absorb while in them. I am always amazed by these ‘people’s buildings’ built for everyone to come in and seek solace over the course of hundreds of years. On this trip we spent a fair amount of time in Greek Orthodox churches in Eastern Europe. I was beckoned in, given candles to light, welcomed in such a lovely way. It is a history, culture and tradition that seems so comforting. I understand completely why you are drawn to these amazing cathedrals.
