Église Saint Pierre de Montmartre is not singularly outstanding, but the soft light of stained glass in the apse seems a promise of hope. I am thinking today of all those touched directly and indirectly by the events of ten years ago.

I love the colors in the stained glass windows. What a beautiful church.
The warm, gentle light in the apse stands in stark contrast of the harsh lights of 9/11/01.
Blessings and Bear hugs on this anniversary.
Et bon dimanche!
Voilà une belle vue! De jolies lumières. Je souris car tu dois te dire, en posant cette photo: encore l'image d'une église... Que va dire Richard?... :-)
Je ne dis plus rien, Genie. Je pense... :-)
It is still difficult to express my emotions when I think about that day, 10 years ago.
Thank you for such a beautiful, thoughtful post.
oh sorry it did translate, I saw the light at the windows an I wish you a safety time, today my heart is an American, big hugh Kathrin
Impossible to forget in a day like today.
A beautiful thought for such a day, dear Genie. Big hugs.
Perfect choice of a peaceful place for that sadly special day..
the world is remembering today, Genie
A serene photo with beautiful windows.
Hi Genie,
Lovely post. A day for reflecting and feeling grateful for all the wonderful people we have in our lives.

Parfait! So simple yet so appropriate. Light is a beacon of hope in this fallen world.
Peace.
I think this is simply perfect for today Genie, a beautiful tribute to a very sad day.
It is not ordinary to get this kind of beautiful lighting, well done!
God bless you!

I like the light through the windows. I have my own thoughts on 9/11.
une lumière parfaitement capturée
A quiet setting in which to spend a few moments and pray for peace.
For someone, like me, who has never been to paris, I was wondering how long it takes to get up close and personal with the city and the things that makes it unique?
Beautiful photo and sentiments, Genie.
I've been in tears, on and off, all day... even 10 years on I can hardly believe what happened. Stained glass windows have been known to make me cry too! This is lovely, the shape of the windows, that beautiful ribbed ceiling - and the mysterious wall painting too. Thanks Genie.
Thank you for your thoughts.
I always liked the stained glass from churches. Nice shot
It has been illuminating viewing everyone's approach to today's memories. Your approach is a gentle and simple one.
I'm still touched when I remember the outpouring of love from around the world after that horrific day—and this photo perfectly embodies the peace we all need and deserve. Thanks, Genie!
A lovely tribute Genie. Beautiful.

That is a beautiful photo of a church. Once again, you've managed to capture the stained glass detail.
I also really like how you composed this photo as well.
You take photos of pretty much anything like I do.
Have a great week ahead! :)
So beautiful....so old, so peaceful.
I once paid a visit to this church. Was very interesting with so much history. It is lovely how you've used it today on the anniversary of 9/11.
I, too, am a Paris lover and have just returned from a summer trip there. You blog header pic reminded me of the gorgeous days and the French picnicking along the Seine.
I dedicated a short story of mine to 9/11, called Lost. I posted it on my writing blog today if you'd like to read it.

I have followed you and look forward to more Paris-inspired posts.

This day in history did not just impact Americans, but the entire world. I have watched many of the programs in the past few days about the individuals, the heroes, the aftermath... so sad.
So many bloggers across the world have voiced their thoughts today, honoring those whose lives were lost.
I love your church shots. I lived in Rennes at the time of the World Trade Center attacks. It was a strange day.
