Travel & Architecture

Two bodies of travel work made in France: street and rooftop photographs around Paris, and an extended study of Notre-Dame de Chartres — its spires, portal sculpture, choir screen, and thirteenth-century glass.

Paris

Paris café front with white awnings and cascading pink blossom draped along the balcony above Paris apartment rooftops and terraces in golden evening light, a red parasol closed on a balcony View from high on the Eiffel Tower looking down the formal gardens of the Champ de Mars The gilded dome of Les Invalides rising above the Paris rooftops, seen from above The Luxembourg Palace and its gardens under a clear blue sky, magenta blossom in the foreground Paris rooftops stretching to the horizon, seen past an ornate cast-iron streetlamp Crowd gathered along a hillside overlook taking in the city view across Paris Trees and planting on a Paris rooftop terrace against a deep blue sky Steep Paris street busy with traffic, a tower block rising behind the older rooftops Underside of a curved modern building canopy, visitors walking through the glazed entrance below

Chartres Cathedral

Climbing roses threaded through a chain-link fence along a park path, walkers blurred beyond Chartres Cathedral's stone flank photographed into the sun, flare breaking across the buttresses The pierced Gothic spire of Chartres Cathedral against a clear blue sky Stone tracery and pinnacles of a Chartres Cathedral spire seen from below Tower and flying buttresses of Chartres Cathedral rising above the nave roofline Upper stonework of Chartres Cathedral, gargoyles projecting from the buttress heads The Angel with the Sundial carved on the corner of Chartres Cathedral's south tower Weathered carved head set on a corbel against the cathedral's limestone wall Romanesque tympanum above a Chartres Cathedral doorway showing Christ in Majesty within a mandorla Carved tympanum of the Virgin and Child flanked by censing angels over a cathedral portal Column statues carved into the jambs beside the cathedral's weathered timber door Three tall stained-glass lancet windows glowing blue and red in the cathedral wall The nave of Chartres Cathedral looking toward the apse, stained glass above the lit high altar Dim cathedral interior with stained glass and a gilded sculptural group beyond the columns Carved marble altar group beneath stained glass, candles burning along the rail The cathedral's carved astronomical clock face set into its stone surround White stone statue of a mitred bishop standing in an ornately canopied niche Carved figures on the Chartres choir screen lit warm against the surrounding stone Detail of draped carved figures on the cathedral's choir screen Arcade of the choir screen running the length of the ambulatory wall Carved canopies and standing figures along the Chartres Cathedral choir screen Winged angel statue silhouetted against stained-glass windows inside the cathedral Angel sculpture holding a staff, framed by stained glass and pale vaulting behind Cathedral column dividing a view of stained glass and a distant side altar Crucifix mounted on a dark stone wall above a rack of lit red votive candles Carved wooden crucifix mounted against rough cathedral stonework Carved relief panel set into a warm-lit stone wall, a standing figure beside it Engraved plaque reading La cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres beside the entrance Weathered bronze plaque lettered République mounted on a pale stone wall
