This is Me # 33: A painting or a mural


Sistine Chapel

These photos were sneakily snapped on our visit to the Vatican City. Anyone caught taking photos was excorted out - the guards were very grumpy that day, but I couldn't sit there in awe and not have any photographic evidence :-p

Michelangelo was a great artist - these murals being a prime example.
