Here are a few of the 1600+ images I took on my recently completed trip to Italy. Reference thread, with a 'lenses taken and used' impression is at:

All images in this set acquired with a K10D and one of four lenses, DA21, DA40, FA50, or FA28-105/3.2-4.5. Images appear in no particular order.
Image 1.) While waiting for the rest of the group to arrive from a visit to the Sistine Chapel in Roma, wandered a few blocks. This old Roman was walking down the street and this flier came to rest at this feet. He stopped, stopped over and started to read the thing.
Pentax K10D, SMC Pentax-DA 21mm f/1:3.2, P exposure mode, f/9, 1/1000s, ISO 400
Image 2.) The facade of the Patheon in Roma, Italia. I love Italy at nighttime. The tourists go back to their hotels, the vendors who cater to the tourists pack up and go home, and the locals come out and take over the town. A whole different atmosphere at night than during the day. Not to be missed if you visit Italy!

Image 3.) A street artist in the midst of applying his makeup for the day in Venzia, Italia, (Venice) Rained off and on all day, so don't think it was one of his better days.
