Photographer's Note
C'était avant … le terrible incendie qui vient de ravager Notre Dame de Paris !
Avec cette photo prise en 2010, on pouvait admirer la splendeur de son architecture, ce monument est le plus visité de France et d'Europe avec environ 13 millions de visiteurs par an.

Bonjour Jean,
spectacular photo, what a great way to pay tribute to this amazing structure. One of the most recognizable churches in the world! The view is so beautiful that even without the terrible fire -it could bring tears into the eyes of a viewer. If now one thinks that this view does not exist anymore.
It is simply unbelievable!
Perfect photo, I may have some record of this beautiful cathedral but nothing as great as this photo!
I have visited Paris several times and every time I tried to at least stop at Notre Dame. Once I have been on a business trip there having very limited time but I had to get out of the subway even for a short moment to have a look at Notre Dame.
This was so symbolic!
Breath taking view. The blue hour at its best, Perfectly balanced exposition.
One of the best points of view.
Excellent work!
I am really so sorry, and I cannot believe my eyes watching the movies over and over again...

Bonsoir Jean,
Cet incendie est une catastrophe pour le patrimoine architectural et historique de la France. La prise de vue permet d'admirer les détails de la basilique Notre-Dame. La lumière de l'heure bleue a un effet pécial sur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Notre Dame n'est pas seulement le cœur de Paris, mais le cœur de France.
La France est veuve.
Pas des points aujourd'hui, l'affaire est absolument triste.

Hello Jean,
I wish I could just be seeing this fantastic photo of Notre Dame on TV instead of the horrendous images I am watching at the moment. The golden illuminations of the mighty medieval cathedral are gorgeous and the dark sky and small clouds make a great backdrop. We can only hope that by some miracle as much as possible can still be saved.

Witaj Jean!
Sad but true, the cathedral disappears before our eyes.
Your picture will be in memory, perfectly shown.
Good night.

Ciao Jean
non ho parole, mi è difficile anche fare i complimenti a questa bellissima foto, i fatti di questa sera mi hanno messo tristezza, molta tristezza.
Grazie per la condivisione e per la dedica.

Hello dear Jean,
Like most people I can't understand how it was possible? I watched horrified yesterday fight of the firemen. I read that at four o'clock they succeeded. What a loss not only for French, for the whole world. Very sad. Thanks for sharing of this marvellous view. I am sure it will be rebuilt.
Kind regards Malgo

Bonjour Jean
Today an important piece of world heritage has been severely damaged. But just like Europe after WWII it will rise again like a phoenix from the ashes. Good blue hour shot with impeccable sharpness and nice starbursts. Tfs!

C'est certainement la plus belle de la journée. L'heure bleue est magnifique ainsi que l'illumination de la cathédrale. Les nuages ressemblent à des petits poissons dans l'eau.

Hi Jean.
We all now recreate our beautiful photos of the cathedral before this tragedy, this view of the river and the cathedral with that wonderful sky, contributes to the total success of this superb composition.
A magnificent color, which gives the image a lot of chromatic richness.
Very good management of lighting and sharpness.
Well done. I like it.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello, Jean!
When I first read the news yesterday, I had no idea of how terrible it had been, it is so sad and impressive to have seen this great tower going down with the fire... This is a wonderful tribute to this famous cathedral, you captured that in a very nice moment, at the blue hour, which gives beautiful colors to the composition!

Hello Jean, fantastic shot taken at the blue hour next to the canal surrounding the cathedral. Now the spire and the roof have collapsed, the monument is quite different. I hope it will be repaired soon. Good night light management, superb colors

Hello Jean,
I am so oblivious! This is the first time I have heard of the devastating fire. Oh, I googled Notre Dame and saw the videos and photos. I am so sorry, a global icon has been damaged. I hope they can rebuild it in all its glory.

Bonjour Jean,
A disastrous fire that severely damaged one of the icons of our civilization.
Yet this is also the fate that has happened to many of these buildings over the centuries. Fortunately, there is often sufficient recognition of our cultural heritage and many buildings are restored in the past.
We do not realize today that usually the building was not exactly rebuilt as the original. Monuments from hundreds of years old have always been changed or expanded with elements from the time of the renovation.
The spire of the Notre Dame that we saw so sadly falling over in fire was an 19th century addition to Notre Dame.
That is why I welcome the call to design a new spire. I am very curious what the result will be.
Fortunately there is more than enough money for the rebuilding.
I wish you a Happy Easter, groet Rob

Hello Jean
Wonderful photo from your archive.
The cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris is home to scores of priceless artifacts, artwork and relics collected over the centuries, each with their own story. I hope that many relics have been preserved and that the renovation of the cathedral will be accelerated. Fine dedication to this glorious cathedral
Kind regards

Hi Jean
A very good composition and a good low light capture everything pointing in the right direction to the grand lady and dramatic cloud formation. The delicate and soft lighting certainly gives the piece a rather calming feel. Congrats

Hello Jean,
What a beautiful blue hour shot. I do hope the cathedral can be rebuilt, and will continue to live on for many centuries to come. The clouds in the sky create lovely patterns, and I like all the golden lights, too.
