The Sistine Ceiling is also of interest


I bought a new scanner, and have started scanning old slides from my 1992 stay in Rome. I was an architecture student back then, and went to Rome as part of a quarter abroad program at the University of Washington. I found some slides I took of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, so I thought I would post those here. (Unfortunately, I entirely ignored the floor.) Back then it had just been restored, and no photography was allowed, but what was the harm in taking a couple pictures for my private enjoyment? I stuck my camera bag on the floor with the camera in it concealed from view, and hit the self timer. That's my shot of the creation scene above.
