Roma

Roma is a magical city, one of the most awesome in the world. There is so much history and so much to visit.

 

I've been lucky with this sunset, I was there just for one day to meet some friends and this was the sunset. :-)

 

But as always, you have to chase your own luck... I arrived at the train station a 19, with the sun setting at around 19:40. This spot is nearly 3.5km far from the station and I had to choose how to get there. Tough decision: take the metro on a busy friday evening (Rome isn't famous for his fast and efficient metropolitan network) and then walk for 1km or walking as fast as I could for the whole distance?

 

I had a last look at the sky (some nice clouds were starting to colour) and I quickly realized that I wanted to minimize risks to miss the sunset (planning is the most important aspect in landscape/cityscape photography), so I started walking with my 15kg backpack as fast as I could to get there in time. Race against time.

 

Roma is alive: people everywhere at every time. Isn't easy to walk fast on the most famous area, but I did my best and I managed to arrive just in time... I missed the first minutes of the nicest light, but I was able to capture the rest. :-)
