Basilica di San Pedro

Vatican City

Last month I visited Europe. I traveled by road from Norway down to Italy. I used my phone a lot to take pictures just for the convenience especially video footage. It was in Rome that I used my camera. This was the place that I spent 3 years many years ago and it brought back fond memories and it was my pièce de ré·sis·tance and I’d like to share a few favorite ones of mine.

If you have ever visited the Vatican you would realize that it is a vast place filed with the works of the masters. There is a mood and tone that takes over and I hope my photographs measures up at least to a minor fraction that has been set by these patriarch of the art world.

Beautiful. Ethereal. Deeply spiritual. One day I hope to visit the Vatican and many other cities in Italy.

    Visit Cee’s post. She has a couple challenges each week that are pretty fun. I agree with you though–it’s like we were hung out to dry!

    I do sometimes, depending on what the topic is. I tried to copy another daily prompt which is pretty fun, but it didn’t work. It is the Ragtag Daily Prompt. Seven different bloggers post a new word each day–that is a lot of fun and I post most days for that one. I think you might like it.
