Rome

Seeing Rome for the first time really amazed me. The intimacy that exists between the ruins and today's Rome has formed the city's impressive charm. Haphazard, yet orderly, its chaotic structures seemed to whisper into my ears to remind me about its turbulent past and absolute triumph.

Below is the magnificent Roman Colosseum and its ghostly arena.




The blending of ancient and modern Rome is what makes its history and culture even richer and fuller.




The opulence of the Roman Catholic Church is displayed here by the great splendor of the Vatican City.



St. Peter's Basilica and its dramatic rays of light.
