Sacre Coeur

While in a scenic frame of mind, I decided to complete this striking Arrow brand 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle of Sacre Coeur in France. This Roman Catholic church is located on the summit of Montmartre, the highest point in the city of Paris. The main part of this jigsaw puzzle was reasonably easy to assemble. It was merely a matter of initially working down the tree then across the gardens before moving into the stonework. The building had enough detail to simplify its completion then filling in the small patch of sky between it and the tree was quick to do as most pieces had a scrap of something solid to reference them to. The remaining pieces of totally blue sky probably made up the final one eighth of the photo. By concentrating on them by their shapes and moving between the slightly lighter and darker hues, that area was then filled in surprisingly quickly, to finalise an interesting view of this grand scenic monument.
