Sylvia @sdutoit, my get pushed partner for this week, wrote to me:
"I love Rome and visited the city 3 times already... How about: some place to visit in Rome not so well known to visitors."
The "Park of the aqueducts" of Rome is an extended park famous between the locals, but not well known or visited by the tourists... Its name is due to the aqueducts which go through it...
@frappa77 - Hello Francesca, your varied portfolio made this challenging and I appreciate the fact that you have such a wide variety of subject so, instead of a subject, I think I will challenge you with a technique.
Can you please photograph something with the bokeh technique for this week's 'Get Pushed' challenge? If you would prefer something else due to a busy schedule and time constraints please let me know as I have something else in mind for an alternative as well.
Thank you for sending my challenge and I look forward to making this one happen and have fun getting ideas together! Best of luck to you this week, have fun and have a GREAT week!

There are many aqueductus in Rome... the one in the picture is in the south subourb of the city... I would be so happy to have you here! I'm ready for a guided tour! :)

I simply love your challenge... I've already started to "study" the bokeh technique! ;)
I'm so happy that you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot for your lovely comments! I always wonder how the ancient Romans could build such imponent, extraordinary, stunning and morover functional structures...
For sure they were more efficient of the current Romans... :/
As I read on Wikipedia:"The Claudio Acqueduct (Aqua Claudia in latin) was an aqueduct of ancient Rome that was begun by Emperor Caligula (12 AD – 41 AD) in 38 AD and finished by Emperor Claudius (10 BC – 54 AD) in 52 AD..."
