I actually thought climbing St Paul's was worse, though, because the last section of St Paul's has metal stairs that are not opaque.

I just basically looked around but didn't know what I was looking at. He for some reason was on his phone and seemed to know a lot. Hmmmm.... Anyways, I had no idea about all the optical illusions to make the place seem smaller. That comparison picture with the hand really demonstrates that.Michele {Malaysian Meanders}https://www.blogger.com/profile/18313351463568423694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-63741696822208858172014-10-13T08:59:18.811-04:002014-10-13T08:59:18.811-04:00Great post.

It's an incredible church to see. You're pictures brought back lots of memories.
