St. Peter's Backside


That's St Peter's Basilica Dome hiding in the trees, as seen from the back/side. This was taken from one of the windows in the Vatican's Painting Gallery (Pinacoteca). Having the windows open inside a painting gallery was very interesting, compared to the environmentally controlled galleries you see at many museums. The Vatican's "open door policy" adds quite a lot to the experience. Great works of art, a nice summer day, and birds chirping in the background
