I published more than one photo about the
San Lorenzo Church. Please check them
HERE,
HERE and especially
HERE. Its dome has been designed by
Guarino Guarini and it's very particular with those 8 ribs that go to form an octagon. The dome is surrounded by eight windows and the second one (lantern) by six. Please give a look to the second higher dome (the lantern) where ribs go to build a eight points star in armony with first dome. -- To better realize this particular architecture I'll post tomorrow a photo taken by one side of the Church.

Beautiful, Fabrizio - what a great photo!
It's even better enlarged :)
It looks like a beautiful mandala!
That's a beautiful looking dome...very well captured shot!
Rigorous framing gives all its value to this picture.
very beautiful, cant wait for your photo for tomorrow... i check your previous photos of this church and it is magnificent
Wonderful details.
Today I've posted different Amish buggy's. Take the 320 question quiz to see how much you know about the Amish.
Beautiful! The dome reminds me of looking through a kaleidoscope and seeing the symmetrical geometric designs.
This is a really beautiful photo, and really needs to be seen enlarged. The colours glow and give it a special quality. The framing is perfect as well. Of course the architecture demands a great photo. Was this hand-held?
Wow, it looks like the inside of a kaleidoscope. Beautiful!!
@ Richard, yes. Unfortunately yes. I realized into the church I needed a tripod. Not having it, I set 1000 ISO (then lens are with Vibration Reduction). If you would like to see the original (3872x2592 pixel) let me know.
Fabrizio, I would love to see the origianal if it's possible.
it looks just like a kalidiscope!
Well it's not normally allowed to use a tripod in churches and the like without permission - I thought you might have laid it on the floor. For handheld it's superb
Intricate, beautiful and very detailed. So clear!
