Sometimes when on a trip to a famous destination it pays to head off the beaten track and explore the side streets.
I did just that in Rome last summer, taking a short cut almost at random between two major attractions, and found this stunning vista.
The late evening sunlight enhanced further the orange of the plaster, contrasting perfectly with the blue sky and white bell tower.
Nothing here is on the main tourist itinerary, but nonetheless it is breathtaking.
