Rome holiday – day 2
Back in Rome we walked down to the Fontana di Trevi and around other popular monuments. This is Fontana di Trevi. I had been there on the two previous occasions that I was in Rome and the place is always packed with people. This time I concentrated on capturing the crowd to show the atmosphere. The right picture, taken by my sister with my camera, is a side shot of the fountain.
At home we follow Italian TV networks regularly and in one very recent news item they showed a picture of the small square around the fountain and it looked so ghostly and scary completely deserted as everyone is staying inside because of this ugly virus.
Thanks a lot for looking, for your comments and fav's.
A lovely diptych , showing the popular Trevi Fountain and the crowds and a lovely shot of you and your wife ! A far cry from todays isolations and the dreaded Corona virus ! Keep Safe !
Ah, I love seeing this. When I went to Rome on my own before I met my husband more years ago than I care to recall, it was closed for refurbishment. Lovely to see you there.
Great shots! It does look crowded but you still managed to find a way to include that in your photo. Glad you're at home and safe- the less people out and about the less the virus has a chance to spread further.

Stay safe and close to home.
In Canada we are advised to do the same, scary times ahead!
We can have a walk o.s outside but take care with meeting other people.
never thought it would be so crowded
