Saturday Photo: Up, Up and Away... Flying Buttresses


 This is l'église St-Pierre in Chartres, but down the hill from the cathedral.  The church was built in the 12th century, even before the cathedral.  I find it amazing that such a massive structure depends on the buttresses for equilibrium.  Truly a combination of the static and the dynamic.
