Photo of the light cast by the hole in the Pantheon domeSpot Light
Pantheon – Rome, Italy
f/7.1 -1/100 sec – ISO 200 – Focal Length 70 mm

The dome that covers the Pantheon in Rome has a hole in the middle (an oculus) that allows daylight (as well as rain) to stream in to the floor 142 feet below.  The Pantheon maintains its right to the status as the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome 2000 years after it was constructed.  It is a spectacular building and architectural wonder.
