St. Peter’s Basilica – a somewhat well known church 🙂 You can see the many chairs that have been set out, as the Pope was to address his followers that afternoon. I didn’t envy them. It was an unusually cold and rainy day in Rome, and the Gypsy hawkers were doing a brisk business selling cheap umbrellas (one of which I now own!) Still, it was a unique way to capture the famous facade of this world famous building, and in my book, unique is good! To see my recent workflow article, click here:
