Gary,

Thank you, sir. Also, that light beam isn't an exaggeration -- that's what I saw (or very close to it!).

Trevor,

Unfortunately, I didn't have much time in there as I wanted to get as much sight seeing as I could in the little time that I had in Rome. Perhaps next time?

Thank you so much for the very, very kind compliment.

Maybe such a situation would be perfect for a HDR imaging session.

Humayun, whenever I see a new post of yours, I have grown to expect something different and very special and that trend continues.

Ron,

Yeah, that roof just never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks!

Well done as usual.
You must have photographed half of Europe

Simon,

Cheers! I shot these handheld, as I just couldn't be bothered with taking the tripod out. There was a lot of people there so wanted to quickly snap and put the camera away and blend into the crowd.

That's interesting about wanting to demolish it. I have no idea why they'd try to remove such an iconic bit of architecture?

I failed.

According to a tourist info sign nearby outside, we are fortunate it is still there, many have tried to reduce it to rubble.
Infact, parts of it have been demolished and all the external marble is missing (raw brickwork now). Demolition was stopped by someone famous, tho I don't remember who.

Andrew,

Thanks, mate.

Thank you all. I receive great joy in sharing my terrestrial work with you. I am really hanging to get back into sharing my real passion -- astrophotography. It's been too long.

Humayun
