I’ve been to Vatican two times. I liked my second visit more than first for a simple reason: fewer people! It was raining all day long, at times cats and dogs, so it eliminated a big percent of the wanderers from Saint Peter’s Square and from the Vatican museums as well. I was soaking wet constantly covering my camera and lenses from getting extra moisture on them, sometimes not able to take any pictures, but I couldn’t close my eyes on the beauty and richness around me.
I am a passionate observer who likes to collect the moments and the looks.
Interesting they have that image up. Great photos.
Love the close ups of he statues. My last visit to the Vatican had me standing in long lines and climbing up to the top of those 300+ stairs with a very queasy stomach after a bad night of intestinal upset. Not the best visit but still blown away by the beauty of the place.
