There were four of us, two of whom are photographers. We visited a place, but our cameras were feeling sluggish. It was impossible! Taking pictures inside the Sistine Chapel was strictly prohibited. The guards there are extremely vigilant, making it totally unfeasible. While we were all captivated by the beauty of the Sistine Chapel, I couldn't help but feel disappointed for not being allowed to capture any photos.
