Vatican Bramante Staircase

[bakubo]

I am sure you have all seen similar photos by various people of the Vatican Bramante Staircase. I took this one in 1994 and I had never, as far as I know, seen a photo of it before, but since then I have seen many that look much like this. Of course, I think most photographers even if they had never seen a photo of it from this perspective would see the photo waiting to be taken. Do you have a photo of this also? If so, please post it here.

Cool picture Henry . Love the swirl of the staircase and the spread of people going up and down it. Looking forward to more versions of it.

Since I took this shot I have seen other photos that are very similar many times. I suspect that almost any photographer who is on the staircase will look down and see that it is a nice photo. Surely someone here has also taken one similar to this. I saw one a few days ago somewhere and I have seen them in magazines.

The Vatican is well worth a visit. St. Peter's Basilica, Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo's Pietà, museum, etc.
