as seen from the top of La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre.
We walked up the very narrow, steep and winding staircase all the way to the top – a challenging trip but very much worth the trouble. The views were beyond compare.

st. margaret’s church, westminster abbey, london (a gallery of six images)
This beautiful church sits on the grounds of Westminster Abbey and was consecrated in 1523. It’s also been the church of the House of Commons since 1614. The church is still used regularly for worship and musical recitals. There are five photos in this post, so thank you very much for viewing them all. You’ll know you’re at the end when you see the little magpie!
the shed national theatre, london
I couldn’t stop staring at the bright geometrics of this astounding (and temporary!) structure. The cardinal red looks hyper realistic in the surrounding landscape of grey, muted colors.

southwark cathedral, london
Southwark Cathedral is on the River Thames near London Bridge. The site has been home to a church for over 1,000 years. One thousand years. It’s a magnificent structure. You can read about its history here: http://cathedral.southwark.anglican.org/visit/history-and-architecture.
Scroll to the bottom of the next photo and notice the royal blue irises against the dark stone of the cathedral.
Perfection!
This next shot is a sculpture above one of the entrances. Every detail is a work of art.
Finally, one more doorway surrounded by gorgeous gothic architecture.
Thank you for viewing all of the images!

Paris cloud lid
paris, a woman and her dog
Images of the Midwest are taking a backseat to Europe for a while as I recently returned from holiday in London and Paris. To say these cities are photogenic is an understatement; I took over 1,500 images – all with my cell-phone camera – in ten days.
Just beyond a line of street artists somewhere along the Quai de Conti, I was stopped in my tracks by the sight of this old woman and her dog. She was gracious in allowing me to take her photograph and even kinder when I asked if I could pet her dog, whose tail wagged frantically as he nuzzled into my hand while she spoke lovingly to him in French.
It’s clear this is a relationship based not just on love but also mutual dependence and necessity. They have each other, and maybe that’s enough.
