Picture: Italy: Grand Canal of Venice


This was taken right before sunset in February of 2009. Luckily, because it was winter, the city was not at all crowded.

Picture: Italy: Moon Over Montefalcione


Taken in Montefalcione, AV, in March 2009. The moon is very small, but it can be seen clearly in the top-center of the picture.

Picture: Italy: Rome: Pigeon on a Pedestal
