Attached is a message I received today from a trusted friend in Hong Kong
which may appeal to anyone who feels that crowds spoil their enjoyment of
beautiful places. The link is shown below.
An iPhone is definitely not the optimum viewing choice !

Sistine Chapel
MOVE THE MOUSE AROUND AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Here is an amazing bit of technology that you would never see in person, as
you would NEVER be alone in the room. It is ALWAYS VERY CROWDED and of
course you can't see Michelangelo's artwork close up as you can here. This
is especially spectacular if you have a large high-definition screen! Too
many details toview on an iPhone.
TO VIEW EVERY PART OF THE MICHELANGELO'S MASTERPIECE,
JUST CLICK AND DRAG YOUR ARROW IN THE DIRECTION YOU WISH TO SEE.
In the lower left, click on the plus (+) to move closer, on the minus (-)
tomove away.
Choir is thrown in free.
MOVE THE ARROW AND YOU WILL SEE EVERY PART OF THE CHAPEL.
This virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel is incredible. Apparently done by
Villanova at the request of the Vatican .
