The Sistine Chapel...absolutely amazing !

Don't really know if the following is true but the link to the Sistine Chapel is amazing

Here is an amazing bit of technology that you would never see in person, as you would NEVER be alone in the room. It is ALWAYS VERY CROWDED and of course you can't see Michelangelo's artwork close up as you can here. This is especially spectacular if you have a large high-definition screen! Too many details to view on an iPhone.
 
TO VIEW EVERY PART OF THE MICHELANGELO'S MASTERPIECE, JUST CLICK AND DRAG YOUR ARROW IN THE DIRECTION YOU WISH TO SEE. In the lower left, click on the plus (+) to move closer, on the minus (-) to move away. Choir is provided free. MOVE THE ARROW AND YOU CAN SEE EVERY PART OF THE CHAPEL.
This virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel is incredible. Apparently done by Villanova at the request of the Vatican .

A separate side note for those who may follow this blog or my other Asian focused blog "Fan with Soy" we will be departing on a two month trip in our motorhome to the Arctic and no we are not going to Alaska but will be driving through BC, Yukon, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories. Though this trip is being done in North America I will use this blog to post our travel adventure updates and continue to post on Asian related topics in my other blog. I am also looking into getting my blogs readable on smartphones for those who don't want to use a PC or tablet.


Happy travels
