Re: Today in pictures

First set of shots from my trip this week to Rome. It was scorching hot and heaving with tourists so not easy to be out and about.

1 St Peter's Square and Basilica
2 The colonnades
3 Swiss guard
4 Nun's with baseball caps!
5 Shades of the Thornbirds (very handsome priest!)
6 His billowing cassock (my dream-shot almost too good to be true!)
7 Drinking fountain under assault
8 Restorer at work on the face of the Basilica
9 The crowds queueing to go in
10 More nuns -different habits (they were brown wool and wearing several layers in 36°C heat!!)
