I was in Rome during the Christmas break, and as a result I have quite a few new photos. Castel Sant Angelo, on the left, was originally built as a mausoleum for emperor Hadrian (2nd century AD) before becoming a fortress and is now a museum. It took its name from a legend about an angel appearing on top of the building and announcing the end of the plague. On the right, the Ponte Sant Angelo decorated with ten statues of angels, while the white building in the back is the tribunal.

Beautifully done. A double treat with Tiber reflecting the winter sky. Molto bella, amico.

Nice framing. I might have edited the ads off the wall though.

Excellent shot Rob! I was in Rome at the beginning of November and took several photographs around the Sant Angelo Bridge. I have a few shots from the other side of the bridge but the reflection from the castle on the water is not right - I used the wrong setting I think. You have got it just right - good clarity and overall view! well done! ...and thanks for the memories! :)
