Yay! I'm finally posting again! I feel like I've been editing photos of Italia for the last three years. Okay maybe not years.... months maybe. Here are some statues from the Vatican museum.
All of the Roman statues used to have eyes. When the forum was unearthed the Romans took out pretty much everything they could that was worth value and made something else out of it. You could call it recycling... I call it stealing and I think it's horrible. That being said, the eyes are creepy.

left: the famous torso. The torso is painted into the sistine chapel several times by Michelangelo. right: Augustus (I think this was part of a gigantic statue) Michelangelo used Augustus as his inspiration for David. They are almost identical. Very cool.
