So this picture of Pont St. Angelo with St. Peter's in the background is one of the best I have ever taken. I did a 20 by 30 blow up, framed it and it is in my home office above my digital keyboard. I certainly made it worthwhile to get up at 6 in the morning to take it.
After five years we were able to return to the largest open air museum in the World. This time I was armed with my digital Nikon. My favorite time in Rome is just after dawn. The City is still asleep, a few late night party goers are slowing weaving their way home and the rising sun brings out the pastels that disappear as the day wakes up.
Our most recent trip may also have been titled, Eating Our Way Through Italy. Fortunately there was much great wine and cold beer to wash it all down.
LIke at these columns an via d'foro piscario, or the Temple of Augustinius and Faustina. And if you don't believe me, it says so right on top.
Rome is one of my favorite cities. We had an absolute blast when we visited a few years ago. My favorite time was early in the morning, before the crowds were out and before it got hot. Did I mention it was hot? The Trevi was fun at night with all the people, but in the morning it was just me, the pidgeons and one polizia to make sure I didn't steal it.

Damn Karl - I think you're right! But mine was taken at night! Yours is one fine snap too. Lordy, I love Rome...
Thanks, Karl! I'll keep it mind. Such a HUGE trip to plan. 3 weeks from Rome to Frankfurt. My boyfriend is not fond of itineraries so I have to keep it flexible - ugh!
Hi Karl, you have recorded some great happenings in Rome that I would dearly loved to have witnessed. Despite many trips in to Rome I haven't stayed overnight nor seen the dawn there. Thank you for your magnificent opening shot. Carole.
That picture of ponte San Angelo is GREAT. We are headed to rome thanks for the tips. Happy Trails, Randy
LOL I like your commentary. And thanks for visiting one of my lesser known pages...
My kinda Rome page - great photos/info surpassed by humor! I'm goin out - sun finally shining - takin an old throw pillow to the Forum! Holiday humor travelogue on my Rome page specially 4 U!<(•¿•)>
Wonderful Rome page with lovely photographs! Colosseum and Castelo Sant' Angelo certainly look amazing! Bring back fond memories of our trip to the city of Rome several years ago! ~ho & pang
I love seeing Rome thru your sense of humor!! I wasn' t so happy when we visited in July--it was hot, humid, crowded, I had mangled feet, don't understand their air-conditioning! Hotel shower-- fantastic if you're "Twiggy." But, I must return some day!!
