Michaelangelo's work in Sistine chapel. by cocobella

Michaelangelo's work in Sistine chapel.

So this is the famous Sistine chapel.
It was the third time I went in (already been in Roma and Vatican twice when I was a teenager) and I remember to have the same feeling : a big Wow! This is absolutely beautiful.
So i'm sure some people are going to say it is forbidden to take pics in Sistine chapel....and they are right...let me explain....
There are 2 rules inside the Sistine Chapel:
-1, silence....I think it's absolutely normal, you are in a priests place you have to show respect and close your mouth.
-2, no photo....why ? If you don't use flash, where the problem ? The answer has been given to us by our guide : Sony (the big firm...) had financed all the scaffoldings of the chapel's last cleaning and has negotiated that he will have the monopole on all images of the inside...just a question of money. So I decided to brave the prohibition......like hundreds of people inside....it is bad quality, if i want a better image i will buy postcards edited by Sony...
