When In Rome...

do as the Romans do - and go out for a walk! For example by the riverside, at the river Tiber, and have some fun watching the people and the famous buildings. Here we're folding up our umbrella after a heavy December rain and heading for Castel Sant'Angelo.

Excellent capture - everything looks so 'clean' after the rain.

@Ina: Lesson learned: if you plan a trip to Rome in December, don't forget weatherproof clothings! :-)

@Jen: Behind us was a very nice rainbow when the sun finally came out of the clouds. And these Italian December clouds are very abundant! :-)

Das Licht muss danach einfach magisch gewesen sein!

@Michael: Ja, der Regenbogen hinter uns, als die Sonne wieder rauskam, war auch sehr schön. Nur sieht man auf dem Foto davon noch den wirklich scheußlichen Justizpalast, der hier nichts zu suchen hat. Regenfälle im Dezember sind dort unten übrigens äußerst ergiebig!

Nice capture! The line of trees and benches definitely leads your eyes.

@Steven: The Tiber is flowing just behind the trees and there are lots of bridges with beatiful views. It's amazing to know that people had a walk at this place for 2500 years.
