Churches, temples and holy placesTell us about the times you've been to a place of worship, and - this being b3ta - how you are now consigned to the everlasting fires of Hell.

One of the most surprising things about the Vaticanis that you can take photographs literally everywhere, except for the Sistine Chapel. Pictures, art, feel free to snap away. Sistine Chapel, no, but please buy a postcard on the way out.
Didn't seem to be stopping many people though, there was plenty of surruptitious camera-work going on, like yours.
Incidentally, SOP in the V&A for people using cameras is to ask them once not to, nicely; ask them a second time, firmly; then ask them to delete the pictures or leave. When I was at the Sistine Chapel the guards were asking people to stop rather than escorting them out, so your extra snappage of the approaching guard must have taken him over the edge. Sounds like it was worth it for the resulting shots though :)
