Roma F33275, Rome

I much prefer this vintage number/license plates to the new ones; so much more impact. This one bears more than its fair share of scares from, no doubt, some decades navigating the Roman traffic. Whilst the car's chrome was corroded and the body was dented practically all over, the colour was still outrageously bright.

 

Annoyingly I managed to catch myself in the chrome too, as noted above. Shame! I do have a shot with a pretty useful zooming blur to hide this, but, whilst it looked a little edgier and did hide the mistake, the sharp contrasts and lines on this version put it in front.

 

One of a couple of quick opening shots from this weekend in Rome. Hope to get the rest downloaded and parsed shortly. Hope everyone is well, look forward to going through your uploads this evening now that I am back.
