Slowly but surely I am sort­ing and sift­ing my way through my back cat­a­log of images. This new album fea­tures some of my favorite shots from a two week trip to Rome in 2007. Dur­ing that time, we really got a feel for this won­der­ful city, and espe­cially it’s food!

This col­lec­tion fea­tures images from the Vat­i­can Museum, the Roman Forum, the Pan­theon, St. Peters Basil­ica, and the Col­i­seum. If you are vis­it­ing Rome, here are some tips I would offer:

  • Don’t fill every­day with muse­ums and sight­see­ing. One of the best ways of get­ting under the skin of this city is sit­ting in cafes, or in a Piazza, and watch­ing the world go by.
  • Skip the restau­rants on the Piazza’s, espe­cially on the Piazza Novona and the Campo Di Fiori. While the food may be good, it will be over­priced. Search down the side streets for the small local trat­to­rias where the locals go.
  • Walk or use pub­lic trans­port. Rome is easy to get around by any­thing other than car!
  • The Vat­i­can museum is worth a full day on its own.
  • A tri­pod will not be wel­come in the Vat­i­can, nor will you be able to take pic­tures in the Sis­tine Chapel (though many do).

While the gallery con­tains some of my favorite images, I have posted addi­tional images in my Flickr Set.

All images taken with a Canon 20D, and post processed in Adobe Lightroom.
