Here are some pictures I took:

The view from the cupula top St. Peter'sOne of the Swiss Guards
The bronze canopy over the altar is 7 stories high
I neither kissed nor rubbed the toe
"You are Peter...", and those letters are 7 feet tall
To give an idea of the size, you can see the "Tu es" in the dome under the windows--and remember, those letters are 7 feet tall. Look at the relative size of the people under the dome
I love your inclusion of scale to help the viewer understand the actual size of these things. As a humanities guy, I understand and appreciate one aspect. But the math guy's inclusion of his unique perspective is really useful!
