As I threatened in the previous "Three Views of Rome" thread, here are a few more of "my" city.

This is my favorite photo of the Basilica of St Peter in the Vatican. Taken in December, 1996 early in the morning. The rising sun made the stone glow beautifully and the horse and the clouds were a nice touch, I thought. This was before the most recent cleaning of the basilica. Apparently people had forgotten it was NOT pure white; when the cleaning was finished for the Jubilee year in 2000 the church was beige. Accusations flew about the incompetency of the cleaning crew but it was indeed the correct color of the stone.
