Sistine Chapel

I have been away for a while from here and do really want to get back to writing - but not sure of how to jumpstart - any suggestions?
As a start designed the header for the blog on a new software that I have been learning.

Meanwhile found this interesting site:



The Sistine Chapel in Vatican City is famous for its architecture and its decoration which has been frescoed throughout by the greatest Renaissance artists including Michelangelo, Raphael, Bernini, and Sandro Botticelli.

Under the patronage of Pope Julius II, Michelangelo painted 12,000 square feet of the chapel ceiling between 1508 and 1512. Today the ceiling, and especially The Last Judgement, are widely believed to be Michelangelo's crowning achievements in painting. LINK: The Presurfer


For all those Dan Brown fans wondering how the inside of the Sistine Chapel looks like take an incredible Virtual Tour of the Sistine Chapel.
