Glimpses of Rome

In Ancient Rome, there are mazes of narrow, cobbled streets and while I would love to walk every one there is only time for a glimpse as I pass by. It is difficult to capture the whole scene, so the following photos are glimpses of Rome taken while out for an evening walk.

Piazza di Spagna with the lights of evening.

Reminders of Madonna and Child everywhere you look. This one is inside the Pantheon.

The piazza and entrance to the Pantheon. Apparently the original street was about 6 feet lower, so it would have been even more imposing.

Arches, arches everywhere and Via Giulia is one of the most beautiful and leads to a terrace along the Tiber River.

A scene at Piazza Navona. It's difficult to capture the whole place, so I only took photos that are glimpses or pieces of the entire scene.

The church at Piazza Navona bathed in the golden light of a Roman sunset.

Street corners are often outdoor museums. Often they are reminders that God and the Madonna should be ever present in one's life.

A Roman in all his glory standing watch on a bridge.

Just a few glimpses of a city that captured me for a few days.
