My wife and I were enjoying a pleasant after-dinner stroll (passeggiata) in Rome. We were rambling and found ourselves along the historic and beautiful Tiber River by Castel Sant’Angelo, close to St. Peter’s Basilica.
Castel Sant’Angelo was built around 140 AD and over the years has served as both a place of refuge and a military fortress. It houses the remains of Emperor Hadrian (builder of Hadrian’s Wall in the UK). Baroque statues of angels line its approach. It’s an amazing sight at dusk!
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!
