The photos were taken over a decade ago； now all that survives are the images and memories 😔
Such a tragedy! 😦

I saw this video. My first thought was this is how the great cathedral at Paris burned. We really have to take better care of our National/world heritage sites. They are irreplaceable. Your photos are beautiful.

This was an accident?
Yes, maybe during a renovation.
I saw a news article about the fire. So sad! Your photos are beautiful!

The roof of the Notre Dame Cathedral was burnt; the damage is not as extensive as the one at Shuri. Im any case, they are big losses.
How sad. I didn’t know since I’ve shut out the News almost competely (99%). More and more accidents happen during renovations… sigh.
Renovation is a temporary but vulnerable stage; people should be aware of this and put in vigilant protective measures and risk management measures.
Absolutely. It is practically certain that the fire of Notre-Dame started with an error in the renovation process.
The same may be the case for the Shuri castle.
