Rome, Italy
I have been to Rome, Italy 3 times: 1978 (coach toor); 2003 (with church choir); and 2006 (with local secular chorus). I took photographs during all 3 trips. I have previouly posted Topics of several churches in Rome, but never got around to just posting photos of other things seen there. This will be a collection of “other” sights from all 3 visits. The 1978 images were scanned from Ektachrome slides, probably from a Nickkormat FT camera with a 28-200 Tamron lens. The 2003 images were probably made on ASA 400 film with a Nikon N70 with the same Tamron lens. The 2006 images were taken with a Nikon D50 with the original 18-200VR lens.
