K- so you are probably asking why I took a picture of the scaffolding in the church. So get this- it is permanently there. It has an elevator next to it that you take to the top of the dome. Then there is this big viewing platform so you can see all the fresco painting on the ceiling. THen if that wasn't cool enough- they have stairs from the platform built all the way to the TOP of the coupala- the lantern looking thing at the very tip tip top of the church's dome! Did I do it? well, I went to the viewing platform and that gave me a whole new perspective on how hard and dangerous it was to complete these paintings! But no, I did not climb the extra 50' to the top. I might go back... probably will go back just because if I don't do it when I'm here, I will regret it forever. But it is so high, going up in the elevator I almost had a panic attach because you can't see up- you can only see out and I was like "we're going to high! We're going to crash!" LOL but I kept it together and didn't do anything crazy. And got some good pictures.
OMG, I knew the artists were creative, but really that is up high!
