To the top

As long as I remember, and I've spent half of my life here, there have always been ongoing works on the cathedral. Pollution and bird poo destroy everything, making the pink sandstone turn black. You can go up to a platform, 66 metres up, through a very narrow staircase, 330 steps. Therefore, a lift for the workers.
 

Cello

Music of the other type.

November City Daily Photo theme day: cooking
