Description
Was innocently wandering around the Vatican a while ago looking for stuff to point my lens at and in between picking my jaw off the floor occasionally,I rounded some corners and found this little side Hall being totally ignored by everyone....so I showed it some just loveUnfortunately some magic moron came and threw some pixie pope dustβ’ on those side panel things right before I took the shot,and before I could kick their ass
I bellowed back swiftly before he rounded those Twirly stairs to escape that "my friends on DA would see past this act of flim flam treachery and would see it adds nothing but character to the shot...HA!"
Thanks for checking this one out

Perfect symmetry in your shot , and the blue tonal quality creates a completely different mood from the warm tones one expects from the Vatican.

"Was innocently wandering around the Vatican"
I really like that phrase. And thats seriously a good shot Jonathan. It's Vatican, but still it gives me the creeps.

Great work as usual Johnny, it's frightening to me, but I am not a fan of the Catholic power structure, I think it might hold a bit of different meaning to me, so I wont go into that.
GREAT SHOT.
Cheers pal,
Zacharia

Indeed, the bricks of immaculate foundation are forged in corruption made of currency and laid atop religious power structure and societal rule. And this shot truly embodies that to me.

Awesome shot! I love this perspective. So cool that you noticed it when others didn't.
And I love your story too... Leave it to the pope to do such a thing to our fave photographer
