Photos wanted

[philothea]

Hey,

Does anyone have any photos of the Vatican that they could share? Ideally kinda wide/panoramic.

Please only photos that you took yourself, and that you're willing to give me permission to use in a graphical link to help people learn about converting to Catholicism.

It'd be nice if the Vatican site itself had some photos I could swipe.

Alternately, photos of a gorgeous church would do. Same requirements as above.

hmm...i know several phatmassers have been to Rome...i'll ask around.

I have some nice close up pictures of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.

There is this:

But I do not like the rules. We would have to give credit to the web site if we used the photo.

[philothea]

Yeah, I looked around at some of the "free photo" sites. Either they want credit, or it's "free" to use once you pay for it.

One site gave a single free photo (I don't know if they needed credit) but they wanted all my personal info to get it. I wasn't comfortable with that.

With all the world travellers around here, I figured someone would have photos available!

I just made an animated banner thing that was a bit too... um. Animated! Looking at it gave me a headache.

I haven't made anything animated before. Lemme see if I can work out something a bit less flashy.

I will not inflict the first try upon you all.

(stupid light pole was in the way.. and I have poor balance skills, thus, its crookedness)

I have a few more (some in early morning twilight) but they didn't turn out nearly as well and most have people wandering the background, or a big Christmas tree in the foreground...

[Fides_et_Ratio]

double post.

[philothea]

Yeah! That's great. May I use it?

[Fides_et_Ratio]

oh, just for the heck of it... I like bragging that I went to Rome a few times...

I also have a couple pictures of St. Paul's in Rome, and then a few churches in Assisi.

lol, it was like 5 in the morning or some crazy time... hence, the pink in the sky. I was so tired I didn't even bother to notice until I was later uploading my pictures.

glad you like it. I wasn't too happy with my picture taking while I was in Europe... just because I left my Nikon at home, it was like I left all my photo skills there too!

Thanks Fides
