ST. PETER'S SQUARE ~ ROME

We may have been with several thousand others, but it was still a moving
experience to be seated in St. Peter's Square during an audience with Pope Benedict XVI.
He gave a very nice talk about educating our young in the scriptures and gave it in several languages.
When I saw this photo it looked like he was looking right at me.
In a way I'm sorry I had a camera....I should have been looking back.
A very wonderful experience.

1/160s f/6.3 at 18.0mm iso100 full exif

It was probably because of the long 18-200mm lens, and that you may have looked like a disgruntled ex-employee! Look at that security guard ready to jump at you!
