This was the cathedral in Strousbourg, France. It's beautiful. A lot of the glasswork and sculture reminded me of Notre Dame. This cathedral took 600 years to build, from 1100 to the end of the 1700s. I can't imagine starting something that I knew my great great grandchildren wouldn't live to see. I have to think they didn't believe it would take so long to build.

it really is amazing to think how long those structures took to build. factoring in lifespans in that era, it just boggles the mind that the projects were ever completed.
Very pretty site! Keep working. thnx!
