Venice cafe
Sun setting behind a Venetian cathedral
Light shining into a hall of St. Peter’s Basilica
Fog diffusing lights surrounding a lake at night
Visitors passing by a painting in an art gallery
Lights casting a glow on the Colosseum at night
A house sitting on top of rolling hills
Clouds floating through mountain peaks
Homes sitting on a steep hill along the coast
Women sitting at a café with their dogs
A man cooking pizzas in a wood oven
Policemen standing in front of sculptures
A view overlooking Florence
A man preparing meats and cheeses in a cellar
A tourist viewing a statue of Constantine
Sailboats circling a rocky island
Diners sitting at an outdoor eatery
