Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
Glorious, absolutely glorious. Someday I shall go to Rome and see this in person (admittedly, probably sans snow) but until then I'll live vicariously through pictures like this. Thanks!
No, it is most certainly NOT St Peter's. Notice absence of Sistine chapel and surrounding buildings. And the hill behind it? And the huge trees to the left?
I would like to know where this is from, and where you found it, H.

Indeed, This is St. Peter's Square. For more context, consider a telephoto image from further-off, e.g. this one.
ReplyDeleteThis picture *is* St. Peter's (or clearly lifted). But it's not a photograph, and, as you say, the context isn't accurate; but the thing itself... !
