That was in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. It looks like a place it would be hard to miss the idea of perspective .

Sorry about that. Brainiac is right, as usual. It was taken in the Vatican.

Seniza I know what you mean, it's called gold leaf in English.


And why is there a cow peeing on your facebook page? Not that that's the worst thing that could happen on facebook... and it gave me a laugh! You have some interesting pictures, I like the first hotel sign.

it's not totally gold leaf as seen above, but it totally glows yellow as you walk through, I think they have special lights to make it look that way.
