Part 2 - Rome through the Broke Traveller's lens - Ep 17
Since I will be leaving for the mountains of Norway later today and I will be away from Steemit for a few days, I am posting the posts I had in mind of doing before my trip. I wanted to do them the past few days but since I always end up working, I had to postpone posting them until now.
Here goes part 2 of my recent trip to Rome for you to enjoy in images. I wish I had the time to write more to add to these but since I will be camping in Norway near Trolltunga very soon, I need to pack and start preparing my backpack.
In case you missed it, you can find part 1 HERE. Also, back 3 weeks ago when I returned from my trip I did THIS short preview for it.
To continue from where I left it in the last episode, we (+ @meanmommy33) were outside the Vatican and we were heading for St Peter's Square.
The she-wolf from the legend of Romulus and Remus that is considered to be a symbol of ancient Rome.
St. Angelo Bridge - Ponte Sant'Angelo
Castel Sant'Angelo - A 2nd-century castle.
Here we started walking through the Rione V Ponte area.
Piazza Navona - Great looking 1st century A. D. square where we had lunch at one of the places there. The food was good but overpriced, as one might expect in such a popular spot...
Fountain of Neptune - Fontana del Nettuno
COLVMNA·TRAIANI or Trajan's Column
The infamous Colosseum - Colosseo.
Roman Forum - Foro Romano
Image of me taken by @meanmommy33 with my camera. Thanks! :)
And that was the last shot of the trip...I wish to return at a less hot time of the year.
The gear I used to take these was my Nikon D700 and a Nikkor 24-85mm 3.5-4.5 G ED lens. I wouldn't say it is the lightest set up but I find it manageable to carry around when travelling. I'll let you be the judges of the results I got with it.
I've never been in Rome and now I would to go. What's a full of history place. I love the whole scenery. Excellent post and I am impressed of your shots my friend. Have a safe and full of interested places trip :-) resteem

Sorry for the late reply, I've been up in the mountains for a bit. Cheers for "dropping by"! I do feel privileged at times. Although these things are relative I guess...still quite happy with the way things are going.
