Magic in the Moonlight: Rome at Night

In the transition from November to December, Rome became a magical place, filled with Christmas lights twinkling against the night sky. While completing my studio projects, I often found myself getting very tired just after sunset, and the best way to combat the drowsiness is to go out into the night and get some fresh air. For each of these outings, I took my camera and explored a different area of the city at night. There really isn't a lot more to say than that, so I guess this blog post is really going to be more of a photo montage.

So please enjoy the wonderful world of Rome at night through my camera lens.

There are few things more magical to see than a city at night. In the moonlight, and under the streetlights, the colours of the city blend into one. All one can see is the form of the buildings working together as one city, one place, one sense of being.  No matter what the city, you must always try to view it at night, to see the magic behind its form!

Ciao for now!
