The Baptistery is really difficult to photograph, owing to its height
and small size, even my 10mm wide angle lens has difficulties. The effect of the
gold is impressive. If you read about panning for gold they say that once you
see real gold, you can’t mistake anything else for it—real gold reflects even
when the light is not on it. It’s true, and it makes it really good for artwork.
(The light is from behind in this picture, so it is actually shining on the gold,
which makes it really impressive.)
