Strasbourg Cathedral
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg (June 2024)
This was a weird day. The weather was horrible, but it was our only chance to visit Strasbourg, France so we got up early and headed to the bus station. Buses came and went, but ours was not among them. A group of us grew very frustrated. In fact, most of the people who wanted to ride the bus from Saarbrücken, Germany to Strasbourg gave up and went home. We had no other options so we continued to wait. Our bus finally pulled into the designated spot, but it didn’t come from afar. No, instead, it had been there (on the other side of the parking lot) the whole time with the bus driver fast asleep. He offered no apologies for making us all wait 2+ hours, and thus our day trip to Strasbourg was significantly shortened.
Strasbourg was really cool, even in the rain.
The church in the town center was being used as a TikTok background by multiple groups of dancers (as you can see in today’s photo).

Black Church of The Red Sand Beach
Saurbæjarkirkja – June 2019
Not to be confused with “Saurbæjarkirkja í Eyjafirði” which is a different church over 500 km away. This one is in the Westfjords, near Rauðisandur, where horrific murders were committed in the early 19th Century on what is now a deserted farm (Sjöundá).
Happy Steeple Sunday
Kunoy, Faroe Islands
In a world where church’s compete for the finest steeple, Mother Nature wins.
