Our Italian Vacation, Day 7: St. Peter’s Basilica

This post is out of order, but I just put the picture together, and I wanted to post it. The picture below is a panorama of St. Peter’s Basillica, one of the primary locations in Vatican City. As you can see the panorama looks pretty bizarre– I took the pictures without benefit of a tripod , so the rolling nature of the pictures is due to my unsteadiness. There are also a lot of places in the pictures where shapes don’t quite match up properly causing some serious blurriness, and there are spots where people in the picture moved between shots. Plus, I wasn’t standing in the middle of the circle– the obelisk in the picture occupies that spot. Carissa and Celia aren’t in the picture because they are behind the fountain. If you look very closely, you can see Sandi back by them.. . she can be seen just over the shoulder of a man wearing a yellow shirt and sitting on the fountain.
I think it still gives a pretty good idea of the spaciousness of the basilica. The picture is almost a complete 360 degree view.
