An old villa on the Aventina hill in Rome, Italy.
If you look closely:
On the right side, through the tent you can see the St. Peter’s Basilica.
Here is the view towards the center in an older post:

If I believed in ghosts, I can almost hear them dancing.
It does look old. I would love to explore it!
Maybe next time when I am given the opportunity – I saw only very little of the inside
– but it is an amazing park …
Thanks for the clue – never would have peered into the tent.
I only saw it, when I did the postprocessing
– it is definitely not in the center of attention 
What an amazing photo! Great old building!
Thank you Barbara! Yeah, they don’t build those anymore …
great photo Stefan, like it!! Great contrast!!

Thanks Xandi!
I like the picture… but I like the new theme even more, much easier to navigate now
Thank you – I like it too – at least I had less problems with it than with other themes
Biggest issue atm is that the featured images (so the big one on top) don’t show up on the feeds like wordpress.com/tag/photography or reposted posts … (less than ideal for a photographer)
Only solution I found till now is posting it twice what would look weird as well …
I’d love to go there some day. Great photo!
Thank you Donna!
How fortunate you are to live in such a picturesque part of this world. What equipment are you using?
most of the pictures were shot with a 550d (standard lenses), the South America Pictures were shot with a Panasonic bridge camera
Great photo! Beautiful tone and contrast. Not sure if this is Santa Maria del Priorato? Would love to go to Rome someday and explore its archtiectural gems.
Impressive, you are right – towards the left on the back is the entrance of the church
As always, Stefan, beautiful!! Pretty! Loved the ground level perspective.You have quite the quirky eye. A treasure! Cheers, Theadora
Thank you very much Theadora!
Beautiful! Love the colours, sort of wet effect, very nice!
Actually that is no wet effect – it is the weird old plasterwork that made that look – doesn’t come from the editing
I love Rome it is the most beautiful place, I can’t wait to visit again. Thanks for the reminder!
My pleasure Mandy!
The low perspective is very effective, and I love the way you’ve caught the flag in full flight.
this is a really gorgeous shot! cool perspective too
