This is just the way I respond to comments on my pics as you have already noticed ;-) I do have a guestbook but I disabled it to stop the many spam messages appearing in it. Oh Yes the Bernini is a good choice and popular with visitors from the States. I loved the atmosphere in that area also, and the tour bus is always a fav of mine when visiting any city. horourke - Jun, 28 2012 03:06pm This is a great picture with great sky and stunning Italian light. Our great writer James Joyce is reputed to have rather bitterly said that Rome reminded him of "some fellow who made his living by showing off his grandmother's skeleton!!" porto - Jun, 29 2012 05:06am Thanks Hugh, I have a similar pic from another day with a clear blue sky but I like this one better with those clouds.
