Night Night over St. Peter's Square in Rome

Night over St. Peter's Square in Rome · 02:06 AM

We went for a short break to Rome, the capital of Italy.
During the first evening, we visited St. Peter's Square
in Vatican City, and that's where I shot these...

Great shots

How do you focus your shots so well please

I couldn't imagine myself doing it

Image quality aside, they really brought back those old memories of mine

Didn't realise till now that it's already close to 20 years ago :ugh:

Great night shots, Rense. I've traveled a fair amount in Europe but I've never been to Rome - it must be a wonderful place to have a camera.

Happy Easter.

Great shots Rense - as always

Thanks for posting

Really lovely shots. I love Rome too - how can you not love Rome? It wasn't that long ago that I was there, but I just had a point-and-shoot. We rented an apartment very near where you took these photos. I'd love to go back now with my trusty Pentax.

Thanks for posting these.
