Sunday Snapshot

Yes I know how predictable I'm being!
Everyone who goes to St Peter's in Rome takes a photo of the Swiss Guards. Why should I be any different?


They were rather gorgeous.

The Pontifical Swiss Guards are the official army of The Vatican City state. They must be Swiss citizens and Catholics. And male. They were formed in 1506 and their uniform is modelled on the Renaissance style.

Sunday Snapshot



Two cherubs in St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Their mother was taking a
picture of them, in front of the two marble cherubs.

I couldn't resist taking one too...

Just after this, one punched the other on the arm; tears ensued!
