León Cathedral
Santa María de León Cathedral, also called The House of Light is situated in the city of León in north-west Spain. It was built on the site of a previous Roman hot baths of the 2nd century which, 800 years later, the emblematic king Ordoño II converted into a palace. Its doors, its impressive rose window, the choir (one of the oldest in the country) and the delicacy of some figures, like the venerated Virgen Blanca presiding over the constant traffic of visitors, are some of the not-to-be-missed features of this cathedral. The León Cathedral, dedicated to Santa María de la Regla, was declared of Cultural Interest in 1844. It is known as the Pulchra Leonina and it is a masterpiece of the Gothic style dominating the mid 13th century, by master architect Enrique. In the late 16th century it was virtually finished. It was erected on the site of Roman hot baths dating from the 2nd century, which were converted into a royal castle by king Ordoño II in the 10th century.

Prayer
This was taken in one of the Parisian churches famous for its pipe organ (I think it was St Etienne) but for once I concentrated on my fellow visitors.

Guardian Gargoyle
This gargoyle on Notre Dame Cathedral appeared to be a guardian of Paris. It was a very dull day, which suits the scene. I took this 30 years ago.
