Secondary dome of St. Peter's.
I can't express the effect of this structure, this space...it's utterly massive - completely consuming. You recognize the physical root of faith as it was in the old world. It dominates...you begin to understand the depth of power, class, government...society through the lens of the power of faith- both real and imagined...free and forced. It's a powerful dichotomy- is it the power of God or the power of man?...I know what I feel to be right...where is truth?...but there is no escaping the complete empirical weight...448 feet to the top of the external cross.
