going through the tunnel into "Juliette's courtyard" in Verona was a truly magical experience for a 14 year old, this makes me want to go dig up my old pictures!

Wow - you have to have guts to do this. It's cool and it makes you question what is 'beautiful'. I like being thrown off balance by something like this. . . .thanks to you Jan !

I want to like it because of the creativity, but I hate it. It makes me feel dirty, like a bathroom stall at the subway station. Would not want that feeling every time I saw this in my bedroom.

Yes, as Cake said, this immediately reminded me of photos I've seen of at Juliet's House in Verona- wonderful!
