A Night to Remember

After a picnic in a park on Ile de la Cite, we attended a concert of mostly Vivaldi in Sainte Chapelle, a 13th Century royal chapel that miraculously has survived wars and revolutions for over six  hundred years. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

On previous visits, I've wandered around for half an hour or so marveling at the amazing colors--especially the vibrant blues and reds--but this time, I could lose myself for almost two hours studying the amazing stained glass windows that seem to soar above me supported only by flimsy columns. How anyone could have created anything so beautiful, I don't know. It was definitely sensuous overload.

Here are random pictures of Sainte Chappelle.
