Starships..

St.Peter (San Pietro).. in my Rome..
I was away from this place maybe from 20 years..
and returning here.. in my hometown..
looking at the perfect architecture of Michelangelo..
at its incredible perfection and beauty...
everything looked so strange..
old and new.. were mixed.. at the same time!!
Even if the new..
it was in the most part of my perception!!..
the sight of the St.Peter Cupola..
it’s always really impressive!!..
so a time.. in the XVI century.. as now.. in the XXI..
the rays of light.. its perfect circularity..
everything is so detailed.. immanent .. striking..
it makes you trip.. as a starship..
that visiting our planet.. able to trasport you..
in another place..
in another time and another dimension...

maybe time.. sometime comes also for us..
for a new interstellar voyage..
;))

Sigur Rós.. my mood... thanks to Ania..

comments and critics are welcome..

i like the forms, an interesting crop, well done,
from a window, the light is too strong, but finaly a good compromise for the exposure, and i really like the sun ray from the window on the right

Superb shot. What a POV here. The symmetry is slightly off but that is minor.

Hi Marco,
this is a dreamy image.
but perhaps Michelangelo imagined more large scale dream than our dream. all stars in this universe (like those the modern scientists think) are merely little dusts floating in the supreme light. in the light, he surely looked at ideal world beyond visible everything. we only see the very small part of his realization, a very little piece of his dream.
thank you,
Akihisa

Veduta suggestiva di una grande opera architettonica.. grazie Fausto per aver condiviso questa tua bella fotografia.
Ciao

Hola Narco.
Una original mirada con este rayo de luz

Un cordial saludo, JL.

Hi Marco,

Excellent post all in all. This architectural work is very impressive, indeed and you capture it very well. I visited Rome four years ago and I was very enchanted by your town, I would go again anytime there.

Ciao Marco, il tuo commento mi fa ricordare anche la canzone "extraterrestre portami via...", quando la sento penso che non mi dispiacerebbe conoscere un mondo diverso. La tua immagine ha colto il fascino così profondo ed enigmatico che si capta in S.Pietro con i contrasti forti di luci e ombre.
Ciao, Cinzia

Hello Marco,
How I would like to visit Rome again just to admire Roman architecture. This would suffice for now. Very attractive, lots of absorbing details. Best regards, Danilo

Hi Marco,
I really like your POV for this shot of architecture. The details are really good and the light coming down from the window adds much to the shot. In some ways it does look like a ship from another world. Nice work Marco.

An impressive place - the entire Antwerp Cathedral would fit inside the St-Peter basilica! I like the way you resisted capturing this symmetrically, Marco... I went up inside the cupola, it's amazing how high from the ground you're standing. From this Pov we can't see the metal fence that is put there to prevent people from jumping - or from taking decent pictures through them :-(
The overexposed window and a bit of lens flare give a special mood to the shot, but I'm sorry you cut a spotlight in half on the right.
Anyway, TFS

Hi Mark,
That's a joke, St. Peter as UFO :-). Sperb capture of the inner side of the dome. These sunrays are superb!
Grazie mi amico!

The light filtering through the openings is a special effect that gives life to this ceiling shot. I like the glaring effect to an otherwise dark shade of tone.

Domes are always fascinating, and this one is exceptional. The rays of light do suggest a UFO, perhaps 'alien' transport beams?
