     Christmas Eve. Crowds pack into the cavernous Notre Dame Cathedral for Evening Mass. As the congregation waits eagerly in anticipation, the altar cross becomes brightly illuminated, drawing all attention to the Pieta at the base of the cross. |
| After the service, the men and boys' choir sings a plaintive French carol as the congregation files out of the pews. Some linger on wistfully. |
| Outside, Notre Dame's mighty bells toll resoundlingly. More worshippers crowd into the square in front of the cathedral doors, all queueing patiently for coveted seats to the Midnight Mass. |
I enjoy independent travel. Serendipity, and my trusty and handy aim-and-snap digicam, are my constant companions. This is a photoblog of places I have visited, and people I have met.
