The morning of the last day we had to get up early, because our train was leaving at 7.42. I opened the window to the courtyard and saw the antennas on the neighbour-house burning in a red light. Five minutes later the show was over.
a holy orgasm?!

The second day we walked round the city of Rome doing hardcoresightseeing. One of our last stations was Santa Maria della Vittoria, where a marble sculpture made by Bernini shows the Ecstasy of St. Theresa.
It is discussed whether the ecstasy is more spiritual or physical.

The first day of the trip included the Vatican City and Castel Sant’Angelo. This picture shows Saint Peter’s Basilica with the famous cupola designed by Michelangelo taken from a window of Castel Sant’Angelo.

For 3 days we visited “the Eternal City”. This was the first sight to see. It is amazing to see the Colosseum by night. The bright point at the upper right is an overexposed half moon.

One of my birthday gifts was a polarizing filter and this is one of the first pictures where the effect is well visible.
