Spiral staircase in the Vatican Museum. / I love spiral staircases and this is an amazing example. Definately inspired by nature, when you looked at it you coudn’t help but see the shell like forms appearing. I would love to photograph this with nobody else around, but I actually feel the people add some scale to this piece and I dont mind them being there at all. If I didnt have the Vatican Guards looking over my shoulder I would have been there all day!
This pair of enchanting spiral staircases were designed in 1932 by Giuseppe Momo.
Piazza San Pietro, Vatican City The tour begins. / Bernini’s massive Piazza San Pietro is a breathtaking work of baroque town planning laid out in the 17th Century as a place for Christians to gather. Looked at from above the piazza resembles a giant keyhole: two semicircular colonades, each made up of four rows of Doric columns. On the square there are… Hang on I think we have a straggler.. “Can you keep up please… stay with the group!”
A ceiling of a corridor in the Vatican City, Rome…and this was just the corridor…
Taken in the Vatican Museum using a Canon 5D. Not going to lie, I am really looking forward to saving up for the 5D MKII.
Taken during my trip to Rome, Italy. These are the endless rows of chairs right in front of the Vatican.
I have made a modification to my Rome Calendar as the last page was of the Sistine Chapel, and while it was OK for my personal calendar, to make this page available for purchase is against copyright laws on the original painting. So I have replaced with the wonderful staircase in the museum. I took a number of photos, so I could photoshop people out and have just the staircase. I have applied the watercolour filter to match the other images in the calendar. Rome & Vatican City Calendar: / :

The double helix staircase at the Vatican Museum, designed by Giuseppe Momo in 1932 with a bronze balustrade which was sculpted by Antonio Maraini in a classical style. This shot was taken with my Canon 30D and 8mm fisheye lens to show as much of the staircase as possible. The image was converted to b&w and levels adjusted.
