Ethereal Beauty

When I first arrived in Italy in 2003, I was struck by the sublime quality of light that so perfectly harmonized with the beauty of the environment.

Within the interiors of some of Italy’s beautiful baroque and renaissance churches, the light is simply exquisite.

Here are a few photos from my Italy Archive that I wanted to share on the eve of Christmas 2011.

Wishing you all sublime happiness for Christmas 2011.
