After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.
I love this presentation and the angle. I don't care what anyone says, Kodak made some really fine cameras. The detail is really nice and I just noticed the clock on the top right. A little bit of a temporal reminder.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

The facade has come out so clear in the bright sunlight and the dark blue sky shows it off very well. Thanks for the info and also for sharing this lovely photo.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Very nice work. I have seen this place before...that Pope guy lives there.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

A friend of mine works in a camera store. The other day a very
confused looking woman approached the counter and handed my friend
a camera. She said "I took pictures, but I forgot to have film in
the camera. Can you please get them out of the camera for me?"
wonderful details and colors, great lights, awesome :o)

"You may forget.
But let me tell you this:
someone
in some future time
will think of us."
Thank you, not only for a great picture but for the background on the statue. One of the best shots I've seen of St. Peter's.
