If columns could talk

This is one of my old ones, not that old I guess, only about 6 months, but I've only been at this for that long.

This is a close up of one of the columns of Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri) under a Roman summer sky.

I took this on our summer vacation across Europe last year.

You may say: "It's just a column and the sky", but this column is roughly 400 years old. It has been at the forefront of so much history.

The columns of Saint Peter's Basilica

    While in Rome we toured the Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano, the church is located within Vatican City. 

    

Did you know that... 

    Vatican city or Stato della Città del Vaticano is a landlocked sovereign city-state whose territory consists of a walled enclave within the city of Rome, Italy. Also Vatican City the smallest independent state in the world by both area and population. 

Well, now you know...
