It is not easy, to take pictures of the Pantheon building inside. Many a photographer has tried it. The version of Masa_N with a fisheye lens has convinced me:

a second good photo, but not with extreme fisheye lens once was shot by Mark Broadhead:

the PANTHEON building in Rome, Italy: the hole in the ceiling seems to work (if there is a sunbeam) like a clock, pointing to hours, weeks, months, years, decades; when we visited this tribute to all Gods (one of the oldest architecture in Europe) some birds came in through the hole; a feather tumbled down to me: I would like to play my guitar in such an architecture!

Very good shots, and personally I prefer the second shot, it pulls me in more, because it looks more real 🙂 I didn’t get any great shots inside, but was blown away just walking around. The light and sound is incredible 🙂

the sound, the marble floor, I was sitting on the marble floor in YOGA meditation – I don’t know if it was allowed… – but outside was a big loud crowd and millenium festival 2000 – and heat and too much sun.
Inside cool & shady framed by a peaceful silence…

That sounds like the perfect response to this ancient spiritual space. I too found a spot to sit and centre myself, whether its allowed or not 🙂

you’ve written a great INTRO with:

hallo Marina,
YOUR music with your keyboard partner of course would sound there well too – but I don’t know if they would like to invite me (Mississippi Frizz, atheist, not allowed to be in a Pantheon) or you (with your “White Nigger” repertoire) – Italians prefer classical opera pathos … are there concerts in the Parthenon, Athens?

Right! We even got censored at “politically correct” i-tunes for the word “nigger”!
In the Parthenon no, but just under the Parthenon at Herodes Atticus Odeon, there are and the acoustics are perfect!

Extraordinary! Maybe better to stand and stare, Frizz? Have a good weekend. 🙂

hi Jo,
at first I thought, the best would be, to lay down on the marble floor and stare to the hole in the ceiling, watching the birds come in – but then I realized the tourists would trample over my belly staring to the ceiling too. At last I retired on a little marble bench in the wall, eyes closed, only listening to the babylonesque mix of tourists’ languages …
