“I traveled to Germany for business in early December of 2006. Once work was out of the way, I checked my luggage in at the Munich airport and continued my journey with a backpack spending a total of nine days through Switzerland, Italy, and Greece via train, planes and taxi rides. Each day was spent in a different city and traveling was always done after sundown. This picture was taken in the middle of the trip inside the Colosseum.” – Samuel
