St. Peter's - Evening by Al Bourassa
You are looking at the smallest country in the world!
The Vatican, Rome – Evening of March 6/09
The size is so deceiving because you can’t really see any of St. Peter’s Square in front of the Basilica. It looks like it is a block away but it is more like a kilometer away. Even the huge obelisk is almost lost in this picture. This is arguably the largest church in the world.
Taken through the front window of a moving tour bus.

Awesome for me to see this.. (Someday in person hopefully).. Looks quite regal.. Cool shot Al.. Hey.. were you standing out the sun roof for this one..
Nope I took this over the drivers shoulder, through the windshield. The Vatican is one mesmerizing place to visit. You could spend weeks in there just studying the ceilings! I wish I had more time there.

Thanks Kathy. It wasn’t the most optimum conditions to get this shot as we were just driving by this evening.

Thank you Daniela. I am amazed I caught it this well considering where I had to shoot from, and the lighting.

Beautiful night shot, Al. Very cool lighting! Must be a very impressive building.
Thanks Mike. It is doubly impressive when you can see the huge square (circle) in front of it!
