Dome Fatigue Is Real

All photos are of ceilings unless otherwise indicated. All are from Rome.  All were taken on my phone, which is an iPhone 4S. And last time I checked, Blogger was crap at jump cuts, but this post has 30+ pictures, so I can't not.  After the second picture, click on the link that says "Read more"... or, to see all the pictures, just click here.

Moving on to the Vatican Museums -- miles of ceiling frescoes

I like these ladies at work on the ceiling

This fresco had a net under it to catch pieces flaking off

Here's what the ceilings look like in the halls of the Vatican Musei

Wall painted with stars

Spiral staircase in the musei. Note the circle on the floor at the bottom --
-- because here's what it looks like when you stand on that circle and look up at spiral and ceiling.
Random entranceway ceiling in a building on the street called Corso Vittorio Emanuele II

 Random lights on the terrace of a restaurant near Piazza Navona. I know they're pretty unspectacular
 compared to the other ceilings I photographed, but I liked them a lot
 Dome in Basilica di S. Maria in Aracoeli

 Another of same
 And finally -- last but far from least -- the ceiling of
 the Pantheon on my last night. The sun was setting.
