Prima Roma

The Coliseum. Damn this was epic.

Self explanatory.

Ruins from the Forum near the Coliseum.

The largest buildings in Piazza Venezia. Rome must have impressed people to no end back in the day. It's still an immense and imposing place.

The Trevi Fountain, a Roman icon.

On the whole, most of my pictures came out over or under exposed because of intense sunlight and shadowing today. The weather has been phenomenal after a couple of days of rain early on, but without a polarizing lens it can be tricky to get good shots. Then my battery ran out so I only got about half a day of shots.
