For Your Eyes Only

Although I've been putting together a gallery of what I think are my best photographs, occasionally I come across a photograph that, much as I'd like to post it in my gallery, I cannot, either because the resolution is too low or because I don't have a property release to use an image of the building for commercial purposes.  However, there's nothing stopping me from sharing them on my blog, right?  So, without further adieu, below are a few of the images I can't sell, but I'd still like to share.  Hope you enjoy them.

This photograph shows the Michelangelo's  staircase in the Vatican--you walk down this staircase after leaving the Sistine Chapel.  Pictures of the Vatican can't be sold commercially, though, so this one is just for my enjoyment.  And maybe yours now, too?

Apparently both the Louvre and the pyramid in front of the Louvre (yes, the one made famous by the DaVinci Code) are also illegal to sell.  However, looking at them is, thankfully, perfectly legal.

This one was taken through one of the arches of the Colosseum in Rome.  This one isn't illegal too sell, but it's too small to make a print of a decent size and quality to be worth printing.
