Terrible what happened to that historical cathedral yesterday.
Hope they rebuild it to its former glory soon.



One of the last images from the internet taken yesterday hours before the fire.

I can only imagine the vast size if someone built it in HO scale!

It is unbelievable to see such a famous cathedral go up in flames, and interestingly, during the Christian Holy Week.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven." - Matthew 5:16

It is an architectural marvel. "...5,000 oak trees across 52 acres to build the beams, trusses,
and reinforcements for the stone structure and to hold up the roof’s 200-metric-ton
lead cladding..." states one source. That ancient assemblage is lost forever.

I gaze on these structures and am humbled and astonished
at the sheer, unvarnished brilliance of these ancient architects
and laborers.
