Visited the beautiful `Marble Palace. It’s probably the first place I’ve been where photography is completely banned, and it was so much a nicer experience for it! Rather than tourists swinging on columns or posing in front of the ornate sculptures, you could actually LOOK at the beauty for a change. I was armed with pencil and paper and was able to record the architecture. I have to say there was a look of envy in others eyes that i got to take home images of the place and they didn’t. Yet another reason to draw!
