Did you know that in Italy, when you dig in your basement you’re very likely to come across ruins? Makes sense if you think about it, but it was a new concept for this Ohio girl. 🙂 What’s awesome is that the Romans have a law that says you have to incorporate a part of what you find in your cellar into the facade of your building. As soon as I discovered this I set out to capture snapshots of these ancient echos.

No matter who I show my Italy photo albums to, they love this story and these images best!
Photo Challenge: Talk to the locals about their history; they’re likely to proudly recount amazing details to you. When something inspires you, follow your creative instincts and document your discoveries!
In joy,
