You cant take pictures of ancient art work because the preservationists feel it will speed the fading of the pigments in the paint. I can see their point, but it doesn't help when your standing there looking at something so beautiful and not allowed to take home your own memory in a snapshot. Thank god, camera's have come a long way and can take decent low light pictures. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by _strat_ from Saturday, May 02, 2009 10:40:08 AM)

They let you take pictures in a church?!?! Damit... The fascist in Italy wouldnt even let me take a camera into the Florence cathedral.
But, I see that there is the ever-so typical rope barrier in front of the altar... Kinda like in front of nightclubs, eh? "Youre not cool enough to party with Jesus!"
