Le Figaro have a newly published photograph from inside Notre Dame shortly before the roof collapsed, as molten lead fell into the nave. (+)
This is what I love about photojournalism. It is just a history of moments where human beings have gone “I know I should really be hauling ass out of here but I have to get a picture of this”
The difference between the first picture that was taken during the fire and this picture taken today of the restored Cathedral are breathtaking!
They’ve taken the limestone back to the colour it will have been when first installed. Centuries of soot and grime cleared away. It’s so beautiful!
