Photo-art  - Rome, Italy Textured photo - the original is a view from my trip to Rome. The view of the Spanish Steps themselves wasn’t so interesting while I was there with tons of scaffolding surrounding the buildings on the top. Add to that the rain on my first visit here and, well, the view down of the piazza below was much more interesting - love all the colorful umbrellas and the lights from the windows - this was near dusk and the skies were flat but the lights made up for it.

Dome of Saint Peter’s in Italy View of the great dome atop Saint Peter’s in the Vatican. This was after I had climbed to the top and was headed back to the ground.  Believe it or not, there was a gift shop on the roof, but i wasn’t like magnets or t-shirts saying you’d been to the top, it was church-oriented. I remain disappointed. ;-) About: Website / Photography Site / Travels / Twitter

I saw so many documentaries of the Pantheon before I went. It was everything I expected; ancient, gorgeous, and crowded even on a rainy day. Yes, I visited it several times while in Rome and would gladly go back if I had the chance.

I’ve read that the Pantheon is the most ancient building still in use today. It’s a Catholic church.
