Rome Sunset, 5x7

This is a good memory, a view of Rome at night from the Hassler Hotel above the Spanish Steps. My sister and I had a fabulous vacation there. There is old, and then there is seriously old. Rome is seriously old. When our taxi pulled up to the Roman Forum we each gave an audible gasp when confronted with such antiquity, such history, and the visible remnants of the Glory that was Rome.

  6. If you think Rome is old you should go to Athens, it's thousands of years older and also a fascinating city to visit. Afterall, everything the Romans did they copied from the Greeks ;) I was in Rome just a couple of weeks ago and this painting brings back some wonderful memories, you've captured the magic of the city beautifully.
