Probably the only time you can catch the night scene outside St Peter's Square is if you spend the night at Vatican City, or if you're reading this as I'm about to show you a couple of my night scene captures. Outside St Peter's Basilica on the day we arrived, there was a huge preparation… Continue reading [ROME] A NIGHT AT THE VATICAN

[ROME] INNER TRIMMINGS OF THE VATICAN CITY
Be amazed at what human beings have achieved. Some dedicate their lives to creating art - intricate gold and bronze details adorn every inch of the ceiling at the St Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. How did they get there, you ask. How did the people of the past achieve incredible feats like these. Patience, loads… Continue reading [ROME] INNER TRIMMINGS OF THE VATICAN CITY

[ROME] THE VATICAN CITY
We arrived, early summer morning, at the smallest internationally recognised independent state in the world! Dan Brown aficionados would undoubtedly link Vatican City to Angels and Demons, in which our all-time favourite Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon fights to stop the Illuminati from destroying Vatican City with the newly discovered antimatter. I loved every sequel, but Angels and Demons… Continue reading [ROME] THE VATICAN CITY

[ROME] IN ALL ITS RUINED BEAUTY
What everyone should love about Rome: its historic ruins and scatters of exquisite shambles. Much of this city appears discarded - as if picked apart by fickle historians and deemed unworthy of more than an afterthought. Centuries of time gone by lay preserved in these archived sites, untouched by restoration, that are as common in… Continue reading [ROME] IN ALL ITS RUINED BEAUTY

[ROME] PIAZZA DEL POPOLO
Flanked by the Via Flaminia, Piazza del Popolo was an important entry point to Rome's city centre for travellers entering the city via the Adriatic Coast.

[ROME] THE SPANISH STEPS
We took the best part of an hour to conquer the celebrated Piazza di Spagna, otherwise more fondly known as the Spanish Steps, which rises up towards the Church of Trinità dei Monti.

Travel-diary: Red Square, Moscow
Hello from Moscow! It's been raining a lot when we arrived, unfortunately we chose a damp, drizzly and cold summer day to go to Red Square at the heart of the city. BUT it was pretty much worth it. 80% of the architecture here have that Turkish/Middle Eastern influence, or perhaps it is the other… Continue reading Travel-diary: Red Square, Moscow
