An aerial view of the Oculus in the dome of the Pantheon in Rome. When you compare the opening to surrounding things, such as tourist buses, the size of the entire structure becomes immediately obvious.
when I touristed rome I thought the pantheon was probably the most impressive of all the sights.

Can’t be arsed searching for the ‘drinking now’ thread on this virtually abandoned forum. :D
What a very pleasant afternoon and early evening.
The beer’s so much better than the Australian version below.
Like most things, really.

20 May 1910, European royalty gathered in London for the funeral of King Edward VII. Among the mourners were nine reigning kings, pictured here — the first and only photo of nine reigning European sovereigns. In just a few years, war would ravage Europe; World War I would end most of the monarchical lines of Europe for good. Of the nine sovereigns in the picture four would be deposed and one assassinated.
Standing, from left to right: King Haakon VII of Norway, Tsar Ferdinand of the Bulgarians, King Manuel II of Portugal and the Algarve, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and Prussia, King George I of the Hellenes and King Albert I of the Belgians.
Seated, from left to right: King Alfonso XIII of Spain, King George V of the United Kingdom, and King Frederick VIII of Denmark.

He has a thing about Australia and anything Australian. He wants to be thought of as an intellectual hard case, but his prejudices undermine that. :)Quote:
