World Youth Day 2005
Attended WYD2005 in Köln with an Australian group from Sydney. We spent a week on pilgrimage in France, then a week in Köln, with the final weekend spent at the Marienfeld, a huge agricultural field opened up for the occasion.
Rouen Cathedral
In some ways, just another Gothic cathedral, but the stone is so bright
Rouen: Jeanne d'Arc
A huge cross (very bayonet-looking) on the site where Jeanne d'Arc was martyred
Lisieux: St Therese
We climbed the hill early in the morning to find the Basilica enshrouded in fog; and it stayed that way

Inside the cathedral; the colour is weird because all the light comes through those stained-glass windows

they handed out huge numbers of little candles for the vigil ceremonies
Marienfeld
our view, zoomed in enough to cover the width of the mound; it's hard to tell just how immense it is in this image
Marienfeld
the top of the mound captured in the early-morning mist, looking distinctly UFO-like
Marienfeld
believe it or not, that's the Sun in the centre
