Yes, from a live feed I am watching the roof is gone, the spire is gone.

Tell her not to be.
I've been through no end of cathedrals, castles, other grand edifices, and by far the most interesting ones were classed as "ruins".
Falling down, breaking down, falling over doesn't make it worse; it adds to the mystique and your emotional involvement.

Brilliant example, but there are "fallen" castles, etc. all over the UK that are an absolute joy to explore.
Your imagination, when going through such places, is worth so much more than the drivel that tour guides spout.
Put yourself in the place of someone a hundred years from now, visiting La Dame.
Pristine and in perfect condition? "Yeah, lovely."
Fallen, with sections still perfect, but incomplete? "Oh, Wow!"

There used to be a youth hostel in Wales that was an old castle, still in working condition with limited amenities. I remember walking the halls where I had to turn sideways and the floor had humps in it high enough to trip over. It did not take much of an imagination to visualise the life style of those days. Romantic - NOT -

Don't forget to factor in a bit of wear and tear.
The craftsmen of old could do amazing things without all the power tools we have these days.

Well, of course, it's not as if she was still my girlfriend.

Very sad.
When we see heritage and historical buildings succumb to the elements of nature, we feel very sad.

Yeah, this is awful. I'm glad my family all got to see it.

I couldn't quite make out the apparent watermark - but there is an elephant in the pattern.
Somehow, I feel like I missed it.

fyi: watermark is "shutterstock" - they do a lot of royalty free images
... thing is the watermark is actually on the dress, not the image.

I went back to the image, but it felt about the same as other watermarks on photos.

That all depends upon if the range involved peaks one's interest.

So pornography is a matter of geography, and drollery is a matter of topography?
