Italy (Jan 2005)

This photo was taken from a hill overlooking Florence. Behind me was a replica statue of David and close by was a cart selling the best Gelato I have ever found.
As I walked into the Bassilica San Pietro in Rome I saw rays of sunlight streaming into the building. I have a few photos like this with sun hitting various interesting and significant objects. I thought the effect suits the location - within one of the worlds biggest churches.

Looking over the Forum towards the Colloseum. When standing in the middle of the Forum it is not hard to imagine what ancient Rome would ave been like. You can see buildings from different eras layered on top of each other.
