Curiosity is killing this cat. What's in the roped off area? Love the old churches, definitely not built like that nowadays.

HI, everyone:
Peter, great capture of the very special waitress.
Rafael, excellent vibrant colors with the 20/2.8.
The walled city of Lucca, also known as the town of 100 churches. It had a very relaxed atmosphere but gets flooded with visitors during tourist season.
First new windows computer since 2008. I've been building computers now since 1994 (beta tested win95), but I decided for securities sake to get ready for MS dropping support for win10. Wow, the specs were fantastic, but I wasn't prepared for the empty metal shell that showed up. I have an old used Dell OptiPlex 7010 that I completely rebuilt, and supped -up. It's at least 10 years old, and it has been a very good machine. The 7010 reached EOL a little while ago and I found two with some of the "Tower plus" (formerly 7020) guts (CPU and chipset?) shoehorned into the new "tower" (new 7010) case by Dell. The first thing I did was open the case up - it looked empty. No traditional drives or room for adding any, but I suspected some of it. I did add an SSD drive for the Lightroom catalog - shut the case and fired it up. What? It is suppose to have 20 cores that do 28 threads simultaneously, but all it showed was 8 cores and 16 threads. Got that sorted out now and a bunch of software installed - the temps are well within spec. And here is my first imaged photo - even though I am not done with the tweaking. D850 with the 35mm f1.4 ais and tc16a
Somewhere, in some book, or website, I saw a photo of the floor of the Sistine Chapel without benches or people on it. Darned if I can remember where I've seen it, but wow.

Laura, i believe it was art work on the marble which was being protected.
A few hours of walking up and down, taking some photo's here and there, we went home with 3 very satisfied doggies (taken with the 20mm f3,5 Nikkor-UD)

Lightroom reports that it's been exactly a month since I last shot something with an MF Nikkor. Went out this morning and was not prepared for the temps but liked the light enough to push through it. 200mm f4.0 AI.
