Prague from the top of the bell tower of St Nicholas’ Church. It is a climb of over 300 steps to get to the top, but the view is really worth it when you get there.

Today’s shot is another version of the beautiful Santa Maria Del Mar; the basilica by the sea in Barcelona. I went a little more extreme in the processing of this picture, but I think that it worked out quite well.
Another view of the grand columns of the Santa Maria del Mar in Barcelona, a lovely basilica build in the late 1300’s.
I love the old buildings in Europe, especially the Churches with such care put into the lovely architecture.
I don’t know which church this it (if you know please let me know), but it is somewhere on the bus route between the station and Vatican City in Rome (no it is not the Basilica). I particularity love the marble-like clouds framing the dome of the church.
Update: Thanks to Cristina for telling me about the church, it is the Santa Maria di Loreto, built in the 16th century.
This beautiful Church is not St Mark’s Basilica, it is in fact the Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore, directly opposite St Mark’s Basilica in Venice. Taken from St Mark’s Square.
It is a Benedictine church, dating back to 1566 (the site has had a church from approximately 900AD).
