Paula’s ‘B&W Sunday’ challenge for this week, is ‘Religious Building’. The magnificent pink sandstone, Gothic style facade of the ‘Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg’, also looks really splendid in B&W.
It’s one of the most memorable religious buildings I’ve ever seen, and if you would like to see it in glorious colour, together with my photos of the inside of the cathedral, you can click this link.

That’s amazing! It reminds me of the Milan Cathedral which was also stunning
I haven’t seen it, but just looked at some pics on Google. It does look very similar in design.
The detail really stands out in b&w.
Yes it does, but I still prefer the colour version. 🙂
grandiosa!!!!!!!
Thank you. 🙂 x

Incredible architeture … the details are astounding. Craftsmanship as art. 😎
Yes it’s quite astounding, Issy. 🙂
It’s already been said, but this structure needs to be seen in black and white–it shows its Gothicness to a tee! 🙂
Thanks, Lorna. i love the word “Gothicness.” 😀
Me, too. I make up words to suit my message! 🙂
It seems appropriate to show this in B&W, Sylvia; however, I loved the post you did of it in color. Such a magnificent building and history. 🙂
Thanks so much, Lynne. Yes it is a really wonderful sight to see. 🙂

When I first lay my eyes on this fantastic shot, I thought it was a French Gothic cathedral, not in Paris, but close :), and I was right! I will take a moment before I click your colour version 🙂 Fabulous, Sylvia! Did you climb to the top?
Thanks, Paula. No, I’m sorry that we didn’t climb to the top. We were with a guided tour and didn’t want to lose them. 🙂
Of course. Maybe next time 🙂
For sure. 🙂
Fabulously intricate!
Indeed. 🙂
The angle from which you took this shot, wow! :O
It’s such an amazing sight. 🙂
Indeed! I absolutely love the intricate art on it 🙂
