We usually ignore the ceilings in America. Maybe we are stiff necked and too busy looking down on each other.
You better look up while in Italy. The Sistine Chapel isn’t the only ceiling worth inspection.
The ceilings were complex and covered with gorgeous art and gilded moulding.
My neck hurt from all the looking up. Many times I had to swerve over to a wall and hold on to get a proper look at a painting on the ceiling.
I am so glad I took so many photos. I can study each and zoom in to see details not visible by glancing up.
I am happy to have these photos to study. The details of each of these ceilings is so delightful.
Centuries of artistic talent have been preserved for the future, to inspire the folks that follow. I am grateful to have had this opportunity with my family.

Beautiful… And yes those ceilings in Italy are something else… We did some wonderful ceiling gazing in Italy and Austria, many years ago now, and both have some wonderful churches ..
One place we visited they provided you with large mirrors, so you didn’t creek your neck 🙂 lol ..
Lovely share Flow. ❤ thank you xx

I am a bit clumsy so looking up while walking and taking photos was a challenge.
