These beautiful tomatoes were for sale at the market in Campo de' Fiori. This was very early in the morning, when the vendors were just setting up and it all looked untouched and pristine. |

In the church of San Lorenzo in Lucina, in Rome, each of the side chapels has a roof lantern with its own unique design. This chapel is dedicated to St. Francis Caracciolo, and the relics of St. Alexander (a pope and a martyr) are kept in an urn under the altar. [To see more churches from around the world, go here.] |

Coming in for a landing at JFK, and we'll be wheels on the ground in about five minutes. The strip of land at the top of the picture is Atlantic Beach, in Queens. [To see more ABC pics, go here.] |
