......a view from Ponte Sant'Angelo looking back towards St Peter's Basilica ....in effect a reverse view of this image. If you look closely at the top of the dome you will see the people looking down.

I don't think I'll ever make it to Rome so I am glad you have taken me there. Your images of Rome have been wonderful; clear and captivating.

I just picked myself up off the floor after realizing that I was getting a front row seat!! Now that I'm here, I don't know what to say..lol...I always love your travel pictures, and some of the best have come from this locale. Your lighting works very well on this cityscape and the bits of greenery in the front are quite a contrast.

AlthougI think that Rome is one of the most captured cities in the world, I never became boring to watch its images. This is valid in particular for your image Patti, as it's a wonderful one. Regards, Cornelius

What I'm enjoying most about these pictures, apart from the fact that they're beautiful, is seeing you at pains to find interesting ways to display what you're seeing. You get it right every time, and this is no exception. I love that you included the moss in this, it shows St Peter's in context and from an angle not many would think of. And the moss says to me that even something that seems as permanent as stone in a city like Rome isn't forever. Brilliant.

Is this the crooked Basilica?
Somehow you managed it that the houses are straight and the dome is not ;o)
Apart from that it's a fabulous shot!

My dear friends! I hope you forgive me for not commenting and answering that much recently. Thats because of the weather situation here, that takes all my energy. I promise to do better as soon as there will be more sun again. Smile

Angle and perspective just great, but it has a strange feel to it. The left part seems to be offset, the buildings as of center to the right, have good and straight vertical lines. What happend to the left of the image Patti ? strange ?
