The River Tiber is just as important in the storied history
of Rome as any of the famous emperors that ruled the empire during
its peak. It served the citizens of the ancient city well as both a
water source and primary thoroughfare, and today it serves as a
timeless reminder of Rome's amazingly rich history and culture.
Photographer Filipe Samora captured this beautiful image of the
River Tiber during the "golden hour", just a short while before the
sun dipped below the horizon. Italians have always had a flair for
ornate structures and architecture, and I just love this bridge.
Great job Mr. Samora!
