Death at the Vatican

Here are a couple of pics for you from our trip to Rome a few years ago. It occurred to me that there was a great skeleton over the old exit door in the Vatican, placed there to remind parishioners that their time would come and to remember the Church and the state of their souls. I thought they would make great reference photos.
