Notre Dame

It will be reborn, like many buildings with long history. It's the people that makes history, and they are unbroken...
 
Just heartbreaking to witness 850 years of European history and cultural heritage gone in a matter of hours. I am devastated for Paris, a city I know so well and regard as my own. Très triste.
 
The wooden roof and spire that were destroyed were added in the 19th century, but we'll have to see how much damage there was to the older parts of the cathedral.
 
Paris was the first city that I moved to when I left America a long time ago. I worked at the famous bookstore, Shakespeare and Co. and Notre Dame was very special to me. I took this photo from the window that I had spent countless hours reading books, writing poetry and taking photos.

The building itself can be restored but many of the treasures inside are gone forever. Sadly, the water damage from putting out the fire will often do more damage than the fire itself.
 
Remarkable shots, every one. I'm very glad we have them. It's been years since I broke down, but I was crying when the news came on CNN yesterday.
