It's a real challenge to capture the full range of detail in here due to the contrast in lighting from the darkness of the lower walls to the bright sky above. This image is composed from four HDR bracketed exposures in order to try and simulate the view inside. I'm pleased with the result, but you just have to be there in person to appreciate the majestic scale.
The Pantheon is a building in Rome, Italy, commissioned by Marcus Agrippa as a temple to all the gods of Ancient Rome, and rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian in about 126 AD.
The building is circular with a portico of large granite Corinthian columns (eight in the first rank and two groups of four behind) under a pediment. A rectangular vestibule links the porch to the rotunda, which is under a coffered, concrete dome, with a central opening (oculus) to the sky. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43.3 metres (142 ft).

We were in New York City for the 2017 Photo Expo and decided to check out the $4 BILLION transportation hub called "The Oculus". Formally, it's known as "The World Trade Center Transportation Hub".
