Outside the Narthex see from the south side.

Hasselblad SWC + K2 on Bergger...
The K2 filter not only accentuates the sky but separates the differences in the yellowish sandstone, the paler are younger due to a restoration.

Well, I see that your subjects will stay still for you and you do not have to chase them around in the viewfinder.

How cynically this comment might appear, you'r absolutely right, they are standing proudly up right for over 1000 years...
Sometimes they deteriorate, burn, are bombarded, mistreated, neglected, vandalised to say the least.
But, these are the exponents of our cultural heritage, the landmarks of our evolution, history, personality; the burden of the past and the signposts to the future.
See my images as a genuflection for the generation who could accomplish these architectural gems with a lot of hard and painful trial and error!

Here you see the place where the original church stood before it was destroyed during 'la Guerre de Cent Ans', that 100 years lasting war opposing the dynasty of the Plantagenêt and the Capétiens.
That place was left empty as a reminder...

Side aisle on the south side, view towards the narthex. This is the older part of the basilica, in roman architecture, much 'darker'.

A view on the narthex from the inside.
The narthex was built a little 'later' and has more daylight coming in because of the larger windows.

BTW: I made a mistake in the comment of the previous photo, it is the aisle on the NORTH side, not the south side, sorry.
