PHOTOGRAPH BY ANDREA FRAZZETTA |
|
|
So many photographs are about capturing action. Photographer Andrea Frazzetta had a different challenge for this week’s Photo of the Week: capturing contemplation in centuries-old monasteries and retreats, some now open to visitors. This Tuscan mountain hideaway has a storied reputation, dating back to St. Francis of Assisi. Take a deep breath—and see more. |

From the vault: A quarter of the world’s glittering, valuable metal is produced by illegal mines, often worked by uprooted villagers, such as this 13-year-old boy (above). The price-per-ounce of gold reached an all-time high in October on rising demand. In many cases, this is how we get it. |
