This is the starboard transept of St. Peter's Basilica. The top photo is fairly close up, while the bottom photo is a panorama shot that shows the entire thing in all its glory.

Interesting that you use the nautical term ‘starboard’. I assume you are playing off ‘nave’, the name for the part of a church where the lay worshippers assemble. Which came from the resemblance of beamed ceilings to the (inverted) framing of a ship - the German word for nave is literally Schiff.

Starboard? Is the Pope in a boat?

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
