    Choosing a statue to post for Rome. What a challenge. I would not be surprised if Rome has more statues than any other city. THe Ponte St. Angelo is a majestic location.

    It's beautiful Eleonora, especially against that blue sky! I think I see a few birds too.

    I wonder if our 'modern' abstract sculptures will survive as long as Peter?

    He's holding a key in his hand, right? It looks so fat and chunky--like a cartoon key. It makes me smile.

    Beautiful shot and well exposed. You must have had a difficult time choosing a statue to post from so many in Roma.

    Have a great weekend.
