Fountain near the Pantheon Rome 1993
converted to black and white. I think I like the color version better, but probably because I’ve seen it more times.
from my archives, naturally (1993 was a long, long time ago in the digital era)

Shine Your Lights For Me – HP5 Plus 400
I’m guessing the Pittsburgh Steelers on their way to O’Hare, as time was right. Three buses plus police escort heading towards the Interstate.

Metropolitan Correction Center Blues
a Harry Weese joint, 1975
