Remember in my last post I told you about my recent visit to Rome? Well, Missus took a number of photographs in which Yours Truly wasn't in the picture. Here's a few of them...
 |
| The facade of the Pantheon. |
Next, some shots from inside the Vatican Museum...
 |
| This is the 'Sphere within Sphere' by Arnaldo Pomodoro. |
 |
| And here's a close-up. |
 |
| The head from a statue of Caesar Augustus. |
 |
| Looking up into one of the cupolas within the museum. |
 |
| An extravagantly painted ceiling. |
 |
| This elaborate ceiling stretches along the corridor of the Gallery of Maps. |
 |
| Look at the magnificent detail! |
 |
| The famous painting: 'School of Athens' by Raphael. Missus loves this work. |
 |
| A little 'perspective'! |
Next, St. Peter's Square...
 |
| This is the Square at twilight. |
 |
| The cloisters surrounding the Square... |
 |
| ... and a view of St. Peter's Basilica from the Square. |
 |
| On the way to the Basilica is the Bronze Door with one of the Swiss Guards on duty. |
 |
| Inside St. Peter's Basilica. |
 |
| The cathedral was massive and very booti-ful. |
Next stop...
 |
| ...the Colosseum by night. |
 |
| This picture has Capitoline Hill in the distance. |
 |
| And finally, Piazza Navona. |
That's all from Rome, but we stopped-off in another city afterwards. I'll tell you all about my time there later.
 |
| For now, Happy Valentine's Day. |
