I have this fantasy that I photographed the cathedral early in the morning when the light is magical and the tourists are absent. It didn’t happen. I just will not get up that early. Also, I did not bring my tripod to Paris. So these images show you what you will see if you arrive at the cathedral in the mid-morning on a sunny day.

Dennis, the headless saint.
