Tribute to Notre Dame

Several years ago I waited in line for an opportunity to climb the well-worn, circular stairway to the roof of Notre Dame. The weather was stormy, but sun broke through as I walked the narrow walkway for a view of the gargoyles facing outwards toward the Paris skyline. As I turned to look at the roof and spire, I was stunned to see the sky showing an almost cinematic sunlight halo framing the spire.
