Sistine Chapel
Apologies if you've all seen this before, but it's new to me and I felt like sharing.

Re: Sistine Chapel
These 360 view things are great aren't they!!
I first saw one from someone who does Urban Exploring abroad, most excellent viewing IMO

Re: Sistine Chapel
How can we be certain that Michelangelo was gay?
Because if he'd been straight, he'd have painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in white, with a roller  Seriously, that's awesome. |

Re: Sistine Chapel
Was there last June. Its stunning but there are many other rooms that are better but they weren't painted by anyone famous (or gay)

Re: Sistine Chapel
Awesome. It's fantastic. But TBH I can't cope with the beauty of holiness.
There's a lovely Primitive Methodist chapel not far from where I live, in a tiny spot called Stanwardine in north Shropshire, between here and Ellesmere. It's one of Shropshire's hidden gems. It has a clay brick tablet on the outside with the verse: 'Come in thou blessed of the Lord, Wherefore standest thou without?' ...and its simplicity does far more for me that the Sistine Chapel, beautiful as it is. |
