Hall of mirrors in Versailles, France

Hall of Mirrors

I was visiting France just at the outskirts of Paris in Versailles. I was at the palace (turned museum) of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette conquered by Napoleon Bonaparte. I reached the famed Hall of Mirrors with exquisite chandeliers that looked to be of crystal. Since then, the chandeliers have been updated to have electricity and no longer burn so many candles! The entire hall was gorgeous! It opened to one side with windows through which sunlight reached. Both sides were intermittently lined with mirrors, but that's not all. There were pedestals with antique art of busts of famed persons of the time period sitting atop the pedestals. The room was crystal (silver), golden, and white. Complemented with sunlight or just the dazzle of the chandelier light, it was an amazing effect. I am sure some of the grandest events of the 15th-16th century had been hosted in the hall of mirrors...I just wish I could look back in time to see it!

Stained glass windows of the Notre Dame Cathedral

Notre Dame Cathedral, France

The beauty of the stained glass windows from the inside of the Notre Dame Cathedral are resplendent in vibrant color on glorious full display in this image captured in France. Many are reminded of spirituality when present in some of the famous houses of worship in the world. What would that feeling be without color? Just a thought.
