Basilique Notre Dame De Montreal

Finding Basilique Notre Dame De Montreal

was a bit of a trek in the snow.

I first went to the wrong church!

But gladly Canadians here are super friendly

and I met someone who not only directed me to the church

but also said it was his favorite among all he has seen in the world.

Upon stepping into the church I can see why.

It is stunning, beautiful and moving.

Not grand like the churches of Rome.

I loved the blue and green colors,

the wood cravings and the

over all serene feeling you get by

just sitting in a pew.

Worth the extreme cold to find

this amazing cathedral.

Up close. I think those are wood cravings...

The upstairs with the designs.

I want the green print for my own future home.

I lite a candle...

With wishes to travel half the world next year.

I fell in love with this for some reason.

This again just took my breath away.

You look forward and it is beautiful.

Then you look up and it is also beautiful.

Your surrounded by beauty.

From the outside...

Me in the cold in front of the church.
