Ceiling Vatican Museum, Vatican City May 11,2024 |
The ceiling above you may be interesting.
That is what Chris and I. learned from our tour of the Vatican. The ornate ceilings adorned with works of art as something to be enjoyed.

Ceiling Decorated with Baroque Style Vatican Museum, Vatican City May 11, 2024 |
No flat ceiling white paint was evident in the Vatican. Every ceiling, it seemed, had a story to tell.
Why are our ceilings, by comparison, so boring? I remember when I was a senior in high school that my parents let me decorate my bedroom. I chose the colors red and black along with an aluminum foil wallpaper with a black design on it, but topped it all off by having Chris, because she was taller, paint the ceiling red! Now that was an interesting ceiling, for the time. It was too bad that I was off to college in less than a year and never returned to the room.
Seriously, I cannot compare that old country house to the Vatican, but the ceilings in the Vatican are worth looking up to admire. Important safety tip--stop walking when looking up.
