Day 20

Two of five entrance doors of the Cathedral of St. Etienne, Bourges, France, 2010. The cathedral is one of the largest in Europe. It was built during the 12th-13th centuries and retains its original stained glass and a 14th century astronomical clock.

(The vertical perspective is a little wonky as I didn’t have one of those hubba-hubba expensive corrective lenses - just an old point-and-shoot Canon.)
