Panorama of Rouen

Seen from Viewpoint Saint Catherine this morning. Sweaty climb but well worth it!
The impressionist Claude Monet came up here as well, to put brush to canvas.

PS You can spy the spire of Notre Dame Cathedral.

The name conjures up an ancient town with a big cathedral. I guess that's the cathedral on the right side of midground of the photo. So modern and filled with buildings. Good POV. Thanks for climbing the mountain to take the photo.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond You're thinking of Notre Dame in Paris! This is in Rouen. Renovation is underway in Rouen's cathedral too, but in the chancery, ironically perhaps involving partly the removal of asbestos put in place during interwar renovation...

@will_wooderson geography not a strong point!!! 😱😱🙈

@randystreat the Cathedral is magnificent with giant white pillars that seemingly reach up to the heavens! And I heard the carillon being played- 64 bells operated at a giant keyboard to create mysterious and strangely moving tunes.

[Kathy]

I'll bet the music was thrilling to hear. Was it played by a human?

[william wooderson]

@randystreat yes, by a talented musician with fast moving hands and feet! It's an unusual instrument to play so not many people can play it.

@will_wooderson There was a carillon, nothing of this size, near where I grew up. We went to the park in the summer and the man who played it then would give concerts. There were photos of how he played it. I was always fascinated.
