from the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres
On the ascent to the top of the Bell Tower
A variety of architecture, rooftops, and layout of the city
can be seen from our ascent at the half-way point to the top of the Bell Tower.
The steps were worn smooth and a tight spiral shared by those going up and those going down. We only encountered a few in either direction. It is a bit dizzying.
If I had shown this photo in black and white you would have missed the fields of rape seed (canola) in the far horizon. As we made the quick trip on the train, the bright yellow provided blocks of color as we zipped along.
