Weathered Serenity [Rest and Relaxation]
Uploaded: April 16, 2012 03:57:20
Saturday, I had my first-ever visit to the actual rooftop of the cathedral's central bell tower--something I've wanted to see for 17 years!
The top 40' of the tower suffered so much damage in the 2011 earthquake, it is truly hard to grasp the scope without seeing it up close in person.
30 tons of carved limestone have been removed so far, and more remains to be pulled down. Still, not everything was destroyed, and this lovely
carved angel, protruding from one of the grand pinnacles, has survived with a smile! (One of her sisters didn't fare as well; see the Discussion
Thread for another, older angel, who lost her nose and chipped her shoulder; still better off than many carvings that were broken off completely.)

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
