tree and church

When I was in Erpel on Christmas Eve I noticed that they had cut down this beautiful tree. Rumor has it, it was sick. I wish I had taken a few more pictures of it.

Vatican

I really hope I get the chance to go back some day. There is just too much to see...even in a lifetime.

colosseum

I guess it is about time to add something new. This copy scanned looks different from the print. Somehow I couldn't match it perfectly...oh well. This was taken inside the colosseum. I waited for a while for that guy to leave and he didn't. So I finally snapped the picture just as he left and I suppose it turned out better with him in it than it would have without.
