This picture was taken inside St.Paul's Basilica, in Rome, Italy. The beautiful light pouring in through the window created this mystic scene, and allowed me to capture the picture using only the available light. As ALWAYS, I was pleased with the results from Kodak film. :-)) Photo taken by Marian J. Lewandowski (United States) - Artistic/Creative

Roy Square is really a sort of alley way, with a variety of small shops and eating places. It's located just off one of Toronto's main intersections and subway transfer points, Bloor and Yonge.

I took this picture using a Kodak DC280 zoom, with the 17x macro lens attachment. I also used a halogen spotlight to help with the resolution.

The black "frame" that you see in this picture is a candle jar holder. The glass ball inside it, is a Venetian glass paperweight that I bought in Venice, one of my favourite cities.
