Beautiful ~ indeed chapel vaulted ceilings are most grandiose even when they are modest in their simplicity ~

The touch from God to Adam ,is Line ,for me so emblematic (of his touch upon every believer bt the Holy Spirit)

Enjoyed reading your work. I have heard of the Sistine Chapel and seen it on TV but can't remember what it looked like. I guess I can follow the link and see it on TV. Thanks for the honor of placing in your contest. Sara

I found a link with picture after picture. I suppose that was a lifetime of work for the painters. Sara

Your poetry was enjoyable to read; your language is fluid and flowing. Only a few words, yet a lot is conveyed. This roof is an incredible piece of artwork. Wishing you a wonderful day.
