Rome
May 2007
I did take many more photographs on this trip however the majority were taken on one of my stereoscopic cameras. Unfortunately there was a slight error on the battery front, the up shot of which was 2 rolls of unexposed film. :-(

The vertigo inducing frescoed vault at The Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola Painted by Andrea Pozzo. |
I can not find any more details and the photograph of the information did not come out. An incredibly detailed model of an imagined church encompassing all of mankind. |
As far as I can remember it was the work of one man. It is about 6 feet across and he began working on it in his 70s completing it some 20 years later. |

About 250 cats live here and over the years since the excavation of the four temples in 1929 it has grown from a place of refuge
sought
out by the cats to an internationally run cat shelter. |
This is Eutropio He is about 10 -12 years old and arrived at the shelter in April 2001. I wanted to take him home with me. |
