  2. Nancy the Center does look much different in your link. Fascinating. Horrid time in our history though.....

  3. Wow! There is a great difference in the 2 photos for sure! Your photo reminds me of the tragedy of many lives lost. I think perhaps it is the lighting as well as the remains of the pillar. Thanks for posting!

  4. Wow. It looks VERY different now. Interesting... and what a sobering reminder of the damages of war. What did the cathedral look like before the bomb?
