The Vatican website has put up
something for which I have no
words. I link here, for your
enjoyment, Michelangelo's art:

The Sistine Chapel (http://www.vatican.va/various/cappelle/sistina_vr/index.html).

Hm, I thought I responded to this... but great! Thanks Jarhead, it really helps for those folks who visited the Sistine Chapel when it was so crowded you could barely breathe!:)

One of my pet peeves. Going in there with the general horde and having the click of cameras and the loud chatter going on. Most people know enough not to be raucous when inside St. Peters or St. Pauls cathedrals. But the Sistine Chapel... wait... its a chapel? Sigh...

Now I can enjoy it in quiet contemplation.

Thanks for posting. This looks just like a picture in Sports Illustrated a few years ago. ;)
I haven't been to see this before, but hope to at some point.
