Tuscan Sunflowers, Italy, 2002
Photograph by William Albert Allard
Sunflowers bloom under a brilliant blue sky between the towns of Siena and San Gimignano in Italy's Tuscany region. In the Tuscan countryside people start their day quite early, just before dawn, but wind down in the early afternoon for siesta. Shops reopen in late afternoon and dinner usually isn't served until 9 p.m.

Volga River Castle, Russia, 1992Photograph by James P. Blair
The Makarevski Sheltovodskii monastery stands silhouetted against a pearly sky as the waters of Russia's Volga River drift by.
The original monastery was built in the early 14th century, but was sacked by Tatar forces in 1439. It was rebuilt in 1624 and became an important commercial center for Russia, hosting the bustling Makaryev Fair outside its walls annually from the mid-16th century until the early 19th century.
