it seems that somehow this creature is standing in stark defiance of mortal death...his deamon still remains

That was under the merciless pope Clement VIII.
Thank you for the reminder ;-)

Wow, intense picture, among your best. The lack of people in the image ads to its menacing quality. And the bird overhead could just as well be a vulture.

Fantastic image. This menacing sky color with even more menacing statue and crisp color on buildings. Even distortion helps enhance the feeling that all the world is going to converge upon your head in a minite or so
