 Because a post for my whole trip will be huge. And because now I can show you guys more photos. :3 So yes, FIRST DAY PHOTOS.

WARNING: APPARENTLY LJ TAKES ~1 day TO CORRECT FOR PHOTOBUCKET RESIZING. SO SOME OF MY PHOTOS ARE EITHER SMALL OR HUGE. SORRY.

Goodness, but these are lovely pictures. The fountain photo, in particular, really stands out as breathtaking. And, if I lived in Rome and could visit the Basilica, I think I could become a Catholic. I got goosebumps looking at it. Thank you so much for sharing these.

Also? You are adorable. ♥

Glad you liked them! My dad bought a spanking new digital camera for the trip that was pretty sophisticated and I'm glad the photos were worth it. :3

I don't think I could become a Catholic ever, even with the beautiful basilicas/cathedrals/architecture/art. OTL

Mou, thank you. '///'

Haha, me neither, really. I was raised one, kicking and screaming, so the symbols/ceremonies are still sort of powerful for me, even if I don't follow the beliefs. ;)

[saying_sooth]

I wasn't really raised on any religion, which, as I look back on it, was very lucky for me. But now I have to do so much research on religion (specifically Catholicism...) for my writing. XD

I... I didn't realize light actually did that. @.@ Wow.

[saying_sooth]

I know. I didn't either till I went in the Basilica! But it's very much like dusk in there, and so when light streams in and catches the dust motes...it's like magic.

Haha, that's so cool!

I liked the photo of the Pieta in our guidebook more than my own, but it was really cool. :3 Just really dim though - I guess bright lights may wear out the stone over time or something?

Hehe, thank you~ I might actually cut it soon for summer...

Oh, I've been back from vacation for a little more than a week. ^^ I just started uploading photos now because I'VE GOT MORE THAN 2000 OF THEM and I decided batches was less intimidating than all at once.

WOA WOA WOA.
Hey, it's you.:love2:
Have a good night,too.

[saying_sooth]

Haha, thanks.

Oh wow. Your first pic of the inside of the Basilica is incredibly beautiful. I've been to many churches (am Catholic and even went to a parochial school.orz) but it's really something~! Ah, I want to go there someday.*A*

Looking pretty yourself there too, bb~!

[saying_sooth]

Yeah, St. Peter's Basilica is so, so beautiful; a masterpiece from the Renaissance!

Thanks. :3
