Italy - Rome - Dawn/Blue hour at Pantheon

    The Pantheon (from Greek: Πάνθειον, meaning "Every god") is a building in Rome which was originally built as a temple to all the gods of Ancient Rome, and rebuilt circa 126 AD during Hadrian's reign. The intended degree of inclusiveness of this dedication is debated. The generic term pantheon is now applied to a monument in which illustrious dead are buried. It is one of the best preserved of all Roman buildings. It has been in continuous use throughout its history. The design of the extant building is sometimes credited to Trajan's architect Apollodorus of Damascus, but it is equally likely that the building and the design should be credited to Emperor Hadrian's architects, though not to Hadrian himself as many art scholars once thought. Since the 7th century, the Pantheon has been used as a Roman Catholic church. The Pantheon is the oldest large-scale dome in Rome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43.3 metres (142 ft).

      Ah, never mind the blue sky. I see way too much of that. I really like the perspective you've chosen to put the building into context. And the soft even lighting does its job well. Of course I enjoy description too.
      Have a great day,

      Amazing shot from the Pantheon. I took a very similar one but the sky was already black. The water looks just awesome.
