It is difficult to convey the grand scale of St Peter’s Basilica in Rome in a single photo – this is one of my better attempts. The height of the interior arches, interplay of the light from the done, detail of the stone/marble and opulence of the gold and altar pieces are unparalleled. Despite the throngs of tourists (and pilgrims) crowding the place, I managed to grab this shot from a decent vantage point.
