November walk

Back from Barcelona after one month there...time to go for a walk in town even if the weather is not so good and the colours quite greyish....which I quite like! Love Rome in this time of the year...



It's getting dark on the Tiber





Beautiful hues at piazza Campo dei fiori





.... and at piazza Navona. 






Just for fun, myself trying the Harley Davidson of a friend near piazza Navona




As usual in piazza Navona......painters doing portraits and people stopping by, curious to see how the work is proceeding




..... famous people!!! Remember the 1953 movie  "Roman Holiday"?.....




Seagull in piazza Navona fountain!!





.... detail of the Four Rivers Fountain in piazza Navona




Time to stop for a Cappuccino in the surroundings





....and maybe start thinking of having lunch?





Glass decorations for sale in via del Pellegrino





Bykes for rent

A walk through Villa Borghese


Just a few  pictures taken at Villa Borghese on a cloudy afternoon of the end of July. Details of stone and snap shots of people strolling around in this beautiful park.  Some of the photos have been taken in black and white for a touch of vintage! Hope you like them!
























































































































































"From Russia with love"!  Nice group of tourists on the typical Villa Borghese rickshaw!
