I wish now I had gone to Ravenna a lot sooner. I knew I would like it, but I never could have guessed how much. In fact, most of these pictures suck because I was just too fascinated to be paying attention to the outcome. By the way, the picture above is Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo.
I hate that I take a picture and the lighting and colors are all different from what I am actually seeing. No matter what I do.
At least you can tell it is a mosaic here.
The whole basilica scintillated like this while I was there, not that you can see it in any of the other pictures.
Duomo. I did not go it, but that octagonal building on the right holds the mosaics below.
Battistero degli Ortodossi.
Some random garden I did because everything else was closed.
Turned out to be worth it. I think.
Campanile of San Francesco--more pictures on the next day.
The mosaic museum in an old church.
Some exhibit in the Civic Museum. I was not supposed to be taking pictures, but I really liked it.
Here's another part of the same exhibit. More pictures the next day. To be posted soon?
