Weekend in Aqueleia, Grado, and Ravenna





These are pictures from my weekend studying the art and architecture of Aqueleia, Grado and Ravenna. Ravenna is best known for its mosaics, I've included pictures of the ceiling mosaic from the so-called mausoleum of Galla Placidea (she's actually buried in Rome) as well as mosaics from San Apollinare Nuovo and San Apollinare in Classe. And-- the night sky was amazing! That's not photoshop!

That night sky was absolutely amazing...it almost looks like the same sky as the 99 stars and the cross...I guess it got blue at night back in the 3rd century too...
