History Screams
I just spent two weeks in Italy, most of that time in Rome, a city that contains architectural and artistic wonders on a scale that’s difficult to describe. What kept capturing my eye and imagination, though, were innumerable, minute details in a sea of history—fascinating alleyways, ancient doorways, intricate fountains, forgotten piazzas.
While there I visited the Vatican Museum, and en route to the Sistine Chapel and Basilica Sant’ Pietro encountered this marble statue. Just one more incredible, fine detail from an amazing place.

Thanks Kellie! You stand around looking at these things that are so old and so amazingly expressive…it was hard to do justice to this piece or any of the art I photographed while there.
