Black Smoke


Vatican City, October 1983. During my "behind-the-scenes tour" of the Vatican, I enjoyed a private viewing of the Sistine Chapel. I lay on the chapel's floor when I took this photo of the ceiling.

The restoration of the ceiling occurred after my visit.

White smoke!

And if the captcha is prescient, he is "ex Vienna."

Seriously, the captcha is "Exviena."
