Blue magic

The last shot (for now at least) from my 2019 visit to Rome - I went there for work, but it really is nice that even given those circumstances Rome is a place you can enjoy when you're just out to get dinner or take an evening stroll. 

This particular shot is the fourth in a series I have uploaded to Flickr over the last year and a half since that visit. It was a quite magical experience to see Villa Borghese and the Temple of Asclepius (which despite the name and this being Rome isn't actually a Roman temple, but one built 1785-1792) in the blue hour. Actually this part of the park was supposedly closed for the night when I went in, but the gate was open so... 

I was supposed to go back to Italy and Rome last year, but that being 2020, it was of course not to be. And the prospect this year doesn't look stellar either (but that is not entirely the fault of Corona, but also technical stuff about where to store archaeological artifacts, when the storage facilities they used to be in have been deemed a health hazard with risk of collapse, and the powers that be need to find a new home for them - and you in the meantime can't get to them at all. But I do look forward to working with the stuff in a place where you aren't actually afraid of going through the floor! The glamour of being an archaeologist.)
