San Domenico, or St. Dominic's BasilicaSiena, Italy
Sunset... Siena... camera in hand. It doesn't even matter that you don't have the BEST seat in the sunset house... all that matters is that you're there.

Sky On Fire
When a scene like this is presents itself to you, it's kind of like the spotlight switching on and the director barking "Action!!". You're on. You're in the zone. Maybe a little nervous about hitting your mark, saying your lines right. Which is kinda silly, since a scene like this has nothing to do with you. All you can really do is be in awe. And do your best to be in service of such a moment so that maybe someone who wasn't even there can understand why you were left completely speechless.
The sky was indeed on fire that night.

Hotel de Quai Voltaire
It's a hotel now - though was an abby at one time. It's only two stars on the rating scale, believe it or not. But history and location are on its side, having housed luminaries of the artistic world like Oscar Wilde, the poet Budelaire, composer Richard Wagner, painter Camille Pissaro. It stares right at Palais de Louvre across the street. Nice spot.
