<p>Interesting arches over a passageway in central Rome.<br /></p>
<p>An interior shot of St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow's Red Square, peering up one of the octagonal spires capped by the church's famous onion domes. <br /></p><p>Dating from the mid 16th Century, the structure is a unique oddity – an asymmetric labyrinth of chapels and corridors on the interior, with ten cylindrical domed towers each bearing their own signature style on the exterior – that has long been a symbol of Russia. </p>
<p>An autumn afternoon on Berlin's Oderberger Strasse.<br /></p>
<p>An evocative view over one of the most beloved districts of Paris.</p>
<p>An angular modern house plays with the slope of its plot near Bressanone. The large front windows overlook vineyards.</p>
<p>A street in San Telmo wakes up with a bit of a hangover.</p>
<p>An announcement board on a disused platform at Ostkreuz station, Berlin.</p>
<p>A band of musicians performs in a churchyard in Puebla, Mexico.</p>
