Some pictures from my trip to Rome

My first ever thread in the photo forum, bit daunting but I've got good source material so hopefully won't be too bad! Pics are linked because they are bigger than 800x600 and I haven't time to resize them just at the moment. I will do later though.
St Ignacio's Church
Dome of St Peter's
A penalty at Roma vs Lecce (Curva Sud in the background)
Trevii Fountains
Inside the Pantheon
Almost the whole of the Vatican
A theatre
A tree I liked!
The Victor Emmanuel Monument

Nice, I always like travel shots - It's interesting to see other countries!
Some nicely composed ones there, well done

Cheers for sharing

Nice photo's, remind me of some I took close to a couple of years ago. I never went to a football game though

We had a great day walking from the vatican (after they refused to let us in due to inappropriate clothes, had to go back the next day) up to the Park and zoo.
One thing we missed out on was a tour of the catacombs as we just didn't have time due to excusrions to Florence, Assissi and Pompeii.

The night time shot of the Victor Emmanuel monument is great, that's such an amazing building. I'd love to go back with a tripod and get some pictures of a few of the little details along the way, my camera is a nightmare to zoom with, especially in low light.

I got along to a couple of the Catacombs, was a very surreal experience down there. Didn't have a chance to go to the park or zoo but going to Pompeii was one of the highlights of the trip for me.

Our hotel was a stones throw from the Victor Emmanuel monument. The photo's a little fuzzy at full size, but the IS on my 28-135 helped a little. I'd love to go back and take tripod as well though

We were coming back from Assissi when the tour guide was talking about the catacombs, saying that they were one fo the first things he recommended seeing. Unfortunately we were coming home the next day and just didn't get the chance.
