My favorite place in my recent week in Rome: (

This virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel is incredible. Apparently
done by Villanova at the request of the Vatican, but I thought you
would enjoy the quality and a bit of Rome on your computer.

TO VIEW EVERY PART OF THE MICHAELANGELO'S MASTERPIECE JUST CLICK AND DRAG YOUR ARROW IN THE DIRECTION YOU WISH TO SEE.
In the lower left, click on the plus (+) to move closer, on the minus (-)

AMAZING. MOVE THE ARROW AND YOU WILL SEE EVERY PART OF THE CHAPEL, INCLUDING THE CEILING.

For some reason I am not seeing the tour, but I did go to the Sistine Chapel when I was in Rome. Lovely!

ReplyDeleteThis is very high on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a stunning header photo! Oh, how I would love a view like that!!! So gorgeous. So are you!
ReplyDeleteI found you at Rosaria's just now. I'm a grandmother also. I have four children and seven grandchildren. I have one disabled daughter I take care of 24/7. I also have a memoir about to be published by a traditional publisher. It's been a difficult/good/interesting life. I can't complaain.
So glad I found you. I'm now a follower.

p.s. I just clicked on the link, and gasped as the Sistine Chapel, in three dimension, appeared. Absolutely incredible!!! It left me speechless.
ReplyDeleteI saw the Sistine Chapel last November. It was very, very crowded, with ushers shouting, "Silence."
ReplyDeleteThis virtual view is much easier on the ears.
Thanks for the link.....I love it! I was there in 2003....
ReplyDeleteI was so fortunate to have visited the Sistine Chapel in person 10 years ago after the restoration. It is an astonishing and moving place! I enjoyed this web site very much.
ReplyDeleteNever pass up an occasion to revisit the Sistine! So grand!
ReplyDeleteThat is just exquisite. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDJan, Did you see the tiny link at the end? Sorry, I didn't know how to change this format which is a little wonky.
ReplyDeleteNan, Glad you liked. Come see it!
Nancy, It's a worthy goal for your bucket list. It will amaze you.
Ann, The header photo is one of the views from my balcony that I love. Welcome and thanks for visiting and for your kind words. Good luck with your book! My niece was in an accident, had a closed head injury, is wheelchair bound and has speech that's difficult to understand. She's fought a mighty battle, regained many abilities and I love her dearly. My sister-in-law takes care of her, together with caregivers, so I understand, bless and admire you.
Linda, You can take your time with this. In peace.
Nanny, Hope it brought back good memories.
Pat, I so agree.
Rosaria, So true.
Patti, Good word. I was stunned when I walked in. I stayed a long time.
