We visited the Saint Chapelle Chapel when we were in Paris some years back, and it is everything the Wall Street Journal says it is. And how can you possibly rejoice in the midst of pain? Jennifer Dukes-Lee answers that question. A poem about Portobello road in London, photographs of Balboa Park in San Diego, and a wonderful video showing the view from a tram car in Belfast – in 1901. All this and so much more.

Some very fine posts here today. I enjoyed the "Ride on the Tramcar"; it's impressive how smoothly the filming was done.
