As you can see, this is another place where you'll find an Egyptian obelisk, though I don't know the story behind this one. The building itself is impressively large and you can't help but feel a sense of wonderment as you enter inside through its huge gates. At least I did - like when I was a child and walked inside a gymnastics hall for the fist time. It's not a thing worthy of comparison with the pantheon of course (not by a long shot, and it wan't even a particularly large hall) but that feeling of seeing something huge for the very first time, the one when you feel really small, that's the feeling I got going inside the Pantheon :)/MrsHjort
It could use a coat of paint (ha). :) You might be surprised where you can find Egyptian obelisks (I remember seeing one on the banks of the Thames in London. :)
ReplyDeleteReally?! It was a long time ago that I was in London last. Though we're talking about going on a trip there so you'll never know. If I go I'll definitely keep an eye out :)
