Arrivederci Roma

Proof positive that it is impossible to have too much of a good thing. When one reflection is just not enough, what about four or five?

Today, I walked around Rome for a couple of hours before heading to the airport for flights to London and then CDG in Paris.

I have loved Rome, I really didn't expect to even like it - not sure really why I decided to come here but I certainly left a little piece of my heart here.

So here are todays pixs. First is proof postive that the early bird, if she doesn't get the worm, at least gets the wonderful photo, I loved this tree throwing such a perfect shadow in the early morning light:



This wall is near the Villa Borghese gardens and it really captured my eye:



This statue made me laugh. It looks pretty angry with having to hold up the front of the Westin Hotel - and I'm not sure who the artist modelled it on, but it is a very ambiguous piece!



One of my themes this trip is lights and this morning I lucked out with this perfect shadow - you don't get these in the middle of the day - you have to be up early enough to capture the light coming at just the right angle:



Here's another of the light fittings I shot, they have such wonderful detail and they are so varied:



No great graffiti today, but this snippet caught my eye:



Autumn in Rome, I love how the reflection of the trees has painted this car:



When I was a kid, my brother had this cute little minature train set. This petrol station could have been part of his set. I guess when you have little cars and lots of scooters you don't need petrol stations the size of supermarket parking lots:



And finally, another really old number plate on the cutest Fiat car:
