    1. I am so grateful for your comment Allan 🙂 The secret may be in the fact that I have dreamt of this basilica for decades before I had the chance to visit it 🙂 and then I only had to do is to adjust what I saw to what I had dreamed of :). I always appreciate your comments and reviews. Thank you.
