Photographer’s Note

I re-post a picture proposed yesterday. I was criticized because of the over-exposition of the white building. I made a few corrections (HDR) but the contrast between the shadow and the building is too strong. Sorry !!
The shadow of the S.Peter's Dome stands out as threatening, over the white building of the Vatican City. The white building is the "Pontifical Academy of Sciences" founded by Pius XI.
" The aim of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences is to promote the progress of the mathematical, physical and natural sciences and the study of epistemological problems related thereto". (from art. 2 of the Statutes of Academy).
The shadow of the dome makes me think of the power of the Catholic Church and its control over the free and secular human thought, throughout the centuries
