Milliarden von Fotos sind bisher in Rom gemacht worden, davon hunderte von mir bei frueheren Besuchen. Da ist es schwer, etwas neues zu zeigen. Trotzdem finde ich es immer schön. Dieses Mal habe ich versucht, Kleinigkeiten am Wegesrand aufzunehmen. Aber ganz auf die bekannten Touristen-Attraktionen konnte ich doch nicht verzichten. Wir waren dort für eine Woche im März mit Freunden. Wieder habe ich nur meine kleine Canon Powershot S80 benutzt und Maria hat einige Bilder mit ihrer Ricoh beigesteuert.

Billions of photos have been shot in Rome, hundreds of them by myself during previous visits. This time I tried to concentrate on little things by the wayside. But I found that I could not totally ignore the tourist attractions. We were there with friends for a week in March 2006. Again I only used my little Canon Powershot S 80 and Maria contributed a few with her even smaller Ricoh.

Campo de' Fiori with statue of Giordano Bruno, burnt here for heresy in 1600 by the Inquisition
Perhaps poor Giordano would have preferred the Campo de' Fiori today
