A car on fire in the middle of Rome just around the corner from the hotel we stayed at......
The exit at the Vatican musuem...............
The entrance to the Vatican, the doors stand about 10 m high made of cast bronze.
Within the grounds of the Vatican..........
Wonderful paintings and tapestry's dating back to the 14th and 15th century cover the walls, floors and ceilings.............
What are they building in there!!!!
Not only old works of art at the Vatican but new and interesting peaces............
View from an out looking window into the Pope's garden............
Back at the Basilica, see the status on top of the Basilica they stand about 5m high giving you some perspective of the over all size of this grand building..........
Michelangelo's Dome (circa 1590) soars 120m above the alter taking 43 years to complete finished long after Michelangelo's death..........
View inside the dome about 100m above the alter, all the pictures within the dome are intricate mosaic's................
One of the many mosaic's.................
the grand alter of the Basilica..........
The splendid Pieta' sculptor of Michelangelo that he completed when he was 24 years old and is the only peace of his work that bares his signature................
The botanical gardens in Rome -Villa Orto Botanico, housing plants from all over the world with many of the trees being well over hundreds of years old, even found some grasses from Tasmania............It was a wonderful place we spent many hours here.
We stumbled across this wonderful little area of Rome, Trastevere which had miles of little allies and streets lined with shops and cafes. We would have loved to have spent more time in this area, need a good week to take it all in................
kd enjoying his dinner in Trastevere roma, pretending that this chip is a cigarette, look he's blowing smoke..............
