When in Rome...


The Spainish Steps, a popular meeting point in Rome. At the top, the french church.





An awsome statue on the way to the Colosseum.... I liked the expression on his face.



Fontane di Trevi, or The Trevi Fountain



Harmony at Fontane di Trevi, we spent a while there....




Here sits a gypsie woman that was begging for change. I made sure to drop several coins in her bowl before I stole the photo of her. I know she probably didn't want me to take her picture, but there was something I found so beautiful about this woman.... She sucked me in, so I had to capture her.



The Commune di Venezia building. In between the soldiers is the tomb of the unknown soldier. This building was massive in size and it was really difficult to capture the way I would have liked. There is probably no way to accurately capture it's true size and majesty. Inside is a gorgeous museaum and architechture to feast your eyes on, as well as an elevator on the back side to hoist you up to a level where you can see all of Rome.










These are the ruins of the palaces ruled by Ceasars of Ancient Rome. They are amazing to see from such a height.




Of course, the great Colosseum. It was my favorite!


Here, you can see that the floor over the basement no longer exhists. What you can see at the bottom is actually where they would keep the gladiator slaves and the ferocious animals they killed.



Harmony is amazing!











Here, is a small view of the inside of the Vatican walls. It was emense and strange and wonderful to be there...






In June of this year, we took a trip to the Eternal City. These are a small few of the photos we got while we were there. The feeling of being in such places is truly indescribable. None of the photos I got could really capture the size and beauty of everything. It was one of my favorite trips that I have taken in Italy thus far. The entire time we were walking around the city and through the sights, I kept telling myself that I can't allow myself to ever forget what it's like to be there...
