the dome of St. Peter's framed by the plane trees of the Tiber at sunset

…was viewed in haste on the pedestrian river crossing of Ponte Sisto – my favorite Tiber bridge & my tranquil expressway into the center – at 16:30 which seems to be such an early/northern time to say ‘addio’ to the sun until you realize that Rome is on the same latitude as Chicago….so I’m looking forward to longer days on the other side of the solstice.
