The cathedral of Rouen may not be the most beautiful of the gothic era (think about Chartres, Paris, Amiens, Canterbury...) but for me, it is surely the most impressive. On the ground, it's heavy architecture looks like a fortress, but when you look up, you still have the impression that it reaches the sky... And as it is hidden in the middle of a maze of alleys, you only discover its majesty at the very last moment. Magic...

    @lomo-elysion thank you Andreas 👍 yes, the Reto is definitely my favourite piece of plastic for shooting pictures, I always have it with me on travel. for example here in Venezia : www.lomography.com/homes/mackiechartres/albums/2417603-11-2…
    I like it so much that I have... two : the Reto, and the Kumo-San. If one day I find the original, I mean the Vivitar UW&S, then I will buy it to have three ! 😅
