Enchiridion (en ki RID i on): Greek, a handbook.
Alfred the Great had a book he called his enchiridion in which he copied quotations, poems, and anything of note he came across. This blog is the same sort of thing, only I don't get to use real vellum and quill pens.

Church ceilings
Every time I enter a cathedral, I find myself just wandering around with my head tipped up, staring at the ceiling. These pictures, I think, excuse me.
Ceiling of St. Peter's
Ceiling of the Duomo (S. Maria di Fiori) in Florence
Actually, I'm having all sorts of fun, but I have to pay a euro and hour to blog from a computer that takes forever to upload each picture. When I get back, I think I'll upload a lot more.
