In Turkey, I explored St. John's Basilica with my family, climbing on broken walls and pillars while taking in the breathtaking views all around me. Without the ceiling, the basilica allowed for an exploration that meshed both the sky and the ground in a unique experience, causing me to revel in what this place once looked like in its full splendor. It was a cloudy day, but the calm and gentle breeze only illuminated the illustrious atmosphere all the more.
