Architecture Show: Churches

My sister lived in Rome for a couple of years so we visited a couple times and did the St Peters, Cystine Chapel as regular tourists and as you say when it's open for the general public it is packed solid. I managed a couple of pictures with my Olympus OM10 film camera back in 1984 I think it was. I was still living in England at the time so Rome was only a short flight for me then.
Thank for sharing!!!

Today I was skiing one hour drive from home. When I should drive home I took a detour and stumbled upon something extremely exciting. Swedens only preserved stave church! Erected 1506.
Norway has still alot of these but I didn't know we had in Sweden, and quite near home also! Really cool!
