The most memorable photo that I wish I took over spring break was from the top of the Duomo in Florence. The view itself was breathtaking, but what made it even more memorable was that on the left, you could see the dark grey clouds and the rain falling over the hills in the distance. But looking to the right, the rain had not yet came, and the city was still bright with sun and there were blue skies above the hills beyond. It would have made a great photo not only for the contrast of city to countryside, but also from dark to light due to the shifting weather.
I think the photo would have been most striking in color, because the different colors of the buildings of the city would have popped against the dark sky, and the same for the blue sky against the dark hills on the other side. However, the contrast in color was strong enough that it would have been present in black and white as well.
I would have wanted to use a wide angle to be able to capture both sides of the landscape. It was also low light so I would want high iso also to bring out the contrast of the sky as much as possible so that it showed up in black and white.
