Photo Test


Just wanted to make sure I could post photos. This is from my visit to the Vatican in Roma, Italy last spring. I'm not a religious person, but that was an amazing experience! This is the hall of maps in one of the many corridors (for lack of a better word) that leads up to the Sistine Chapel. The maps are of the provinces of Italy and they are gorgeous, brightly-colored, detailed and a wonder! This shot is, of course, the ceiling so you can't see the maps, but perhaps it is meant to suggest that what is on earth is beautiful but what is above is even more glorious?? Like I said I'm not religious but I can paraphrase Hamlet when he instructs Horatio that there are more things in heaven and earth than can be dreamt up of in philosophy!
