Love the angle on this one, really shows the height!
Thank you, Robert!
Oh the stained glass at Sainte Chappelle is spectacular!
mmmmm, yes it is! I love that place. Thanks Laura!
Whhhhoooooaaaahhh… Soooooo beautiful!!! 🙂 **
Thanks Xandre!
Sainte Chapelle is one of my very best favorite places to visit in Paris. The colors are magnificent regardless of the direction of the sun at different times of day.
Ahhh yes. I’d rather be there than in many huge cathedrals. The architecture is amazing. We can go in ’13! 😉
1248?
I am thinking how many people have had the chance to enjoy the beauty of this building over time.
Isn’t that amazing? I didn’t remember that date, so I looked it up. Of course, since that time it’s suffered fires, destruction from wars, etc. I think one wing was completely destroyed at one time…but not the entire church.
Such beautiful and intricate works of art!
They really are…thanks so much!
I love Sainte Chapelle, it reminds me of an exquisite jewel box. Your photograph of one of it’s stained glass windows is beautiful. It still amazes me that they removed every window during the Second World War!
I know…it’s been through so much since 1248….fires, wars…etc. I prefer it over some of the huge cathedrals sometimes… Thanks Elisa!

Beautiful.
Thanks! I just have to agree! 😉
Churches have the most beautiful stained glass windows.
This is a testament to that.
Nice shot ….
Thank you, Isadora! I agree, these are special.
THAT’s colorful!

I loved Sainte Chappelle one of many Parisian gems. And I love stained glass windows, got quite a few photos in various places.
