The Rose Window, Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, France. 
One of the most renowned features of Notre Dame was its stunning collection of stained glass windows. These intricate works of art, dating back to the 13th century, depicted biblical narratives, saints, and symbolic motifs, illuminating the interior with a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues. The Rose Window, a crowning jewel of Gothic artistry, mesmerized visitors with its intricate tracery and radiant portrayal of religious iconography.

France doesn't have culture; the word "culture" is actually French. "Culture" derives from the same French term, which in turn derives from the Latin 'colere,' meaning to tend to the earth and grow, cultivate and nurture."

Look Ma there is a picture.  Yes well it is a slam after all so I figure I can change my mind about no pictures for a slam for goodness sake.  Besides blame it on Hartt who is like a kid in a candy store about RG as evidenced by her enlightening narrative below.  Yep division of duties and knowing when to delegate is definitely a thing.   Thank you Hartt and take a bow!!!  I think you should apply to become a tennis announcer - yes!!!👏👏  Just don't let us spoil them though.

Sigh! I wanna be there......lovely aerial view of wonderful Paris

Six more days to go. Weather was not good to pretty bad, but thanks to floodlights and the new roof, we barely saw postponed or interrupted matches. Let's hope for better weather.

So here we are. The last GS of the year and it's Roland Garros. In autumn! I know! Already we are bracing for two cold damp weeks ahead. Who's gonna feel like a fish in water? Everybody is speculating wildly. All this because of the shit.
