- Saint Andrew's Chapel
The ceiling in the narthex. Plenty of different birds, most notably the famous ducks, and the white lilies. - Saint Andrew's Chapel
Narthex of the chapel depicting Christ dressed as Roman emperor, standing on a lion and a snake (Psalm 91). His book says EGO SVM VIA VERITAS ET VITA - I am the way, the truth, the life. The top part is original mosaic, the bottom part is just painted! - Col de Montgenèvre
A historically super-important pass, known already to Romans (including Julius Caesar). But, as you can guess, also a possible route for Hannibal. "Does not lie in sleep." - Elba aquarium
And these are shark eggs. - Lantern
Lantern of what is now Higher Institute for Artistic Industries. Urbino - Napoleon's villa
Ceilings. They are different in every room. - Napoleon's villa

Not the official coat of arms of Marciana, but it could be. - Art in Marciana
Some local art in Marciana. - Basilica Cateriniana San Domenico
There were several flags in the church, including this one with an angry-looking fish. Actually, the flags represent different districts (contrada) of Siena. This one represents Onda, a district of carpenters. And that is a dolphin. - Ravenna
After two days of sightseeing in the town, one recognises almost all the street-sign mosaics. - Mausoleum of Galla Placidia
Deer drinking water. At first I thought they were eating watermelons :-) And then there are two more apostles around the chi-rho-alpha-omega sign. - Basilica of San Vitale
The apostles, decorated with fish! Fish! - Ravenna
- Saint Andrew's Chapel
The dome is decorated with four angels pointing towards IX, and the four symbols of the evangelists.
