Here's your look at highlights from the weekly AP photo report, a gallery featuring a mix of front-page photography, the odd image you might have missed and lasting moments our editors think you should see.

This week's collection includes lightning streaking across the evening sky in Alabama, an Afghan soldier overlooking a festive Kabul, the moon hanging low over St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican and a glimpse into the past on a street in Baghdad.
