This week I share with you Piazza Navona in Rome. The Piazza is an immense public space and features sculptural and architectural creations by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, whose famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers, 1651) stands in the center and is pictured above; and the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone designed by Francesco Borromini and Girolamo Rainaldi that is also pictured above. I just loved the angle of this shot and the cloudless blue sky. Do enlarge it...the details pop when you do. Enjoy.

Almost looks as if the man in the statue is contemplating that same gorgeous blue sky. Wonderful angle!
Beautiful architecture and blue skies always go hand in hand. Awesome photo.
Have a great week

That is a great angle. Beautiful architecture against a lovely soft blue sky.
Cool angle to get both the statue looking up and amazing old building framing the sky. Thanks for sharing your tour with us all at sky watch friday.
So Beautiful!!!

Really a great picture! Happy SkyWatch!
Its a perfect angle .. dreamy!
Wonderful shot! The angle is perfect, where the statue is looking at the sky - or the beautiful building! I have been there! Very special to see a picture of the place looking like this!
Fabulous image! Well captured.
After this picture I want to go to Rome even more. One day...
Old World architecture sure is amazing! They really knew how to build centuries ago!
Fantastic shot, beautiful architecture and what a gorgeous blue sky! Happy SWF!
Just an amazingly wonderful shot. The building the statue all about it is just great. And I looked at the details. Buildings today are very different. Flat is the word maybe.
Have nice weekend!
What a pretty picture! Must be awesome to see in person.
Very interesting perspective. I love the architecture.
Wow! I agree the blue sky goes perfectly with this shot. That church is beautiful.
Oh what a lovely picture! Taken with love! I love watching your pictures, Erin. You see details I wouldn't always notice and you always present them with such heart. Thanks!
I love the shadowed statue and the sunny/shadowed wall of the building.
What beautiful architecture. Your blog posts make me want to travel to Itaaly post haste.
Perfect angle and the building is so impressive. Very clever SWF entry.
The details in the building are just amazing. I too love the angle at which you shot this. The statue of the man looks like he is relishing the building as much as I am. I also love the bluish shadows. What a feast for the eyes!
Great angle !!
Love the way that the building stands out against that beautiful blue sky and the statue appears to be looking up in awe :-)
Great shot !
Erin: That is really beautiful to see.
That's a beautiful photo for SWF. Love the architectural designs of the building. Have a nice weekend.
This is a beautiful photo. What gorgeous architecture...lovely in white and that clear, blue sky.
Wow. The statue of the man is juxtaposed nicely stretching his hands and soaking in the beauty.
How lovely. Great SWF.
Aha been here a few times and it is indeed wonderful. Look out for it in the Angels & Demons movie too, lovely capture Erin.
Great Baroque facade against the sky.
Blue sky and beautiful architecture.
Such wonderful architecture and very defined against the blue skies.
Your perspective of the Piazza is wonderful. The composition sets off the architecture. Lovely!
absolutely gorgeous!
This is exactly why I want to visit Rome one day. The architecture simply blows me away. Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful plazza:)
Wonderful architecture but it´s the statue of the man reaching to the building that makes the photo.
Stunning...beautiful...WOW!
I love the perspective you chose to shoot this picture. The man in the foreground, the building and the clear blue sky are a perfect match.
Enjoy your weekend!
Lovely!
Wow! Gorgeous, Erin. You're right, things did pop! I just love this structure against that beautiful sky...
And, hey! I love your new header! You have a great weekend, too. :o)
Incredible...good job
It's like a higher plane - the dramatic statue, white classical buildings and a blue, blue sky. Wish I was there!
Great architecture and sculptures are amazing.
Hi Erin,
Thanks for stopping by Monastery Daily Photo and inviting me to take a look at your blog. Your pictures are truly amazing...and Piazza Navona is one of my favorite places in Rome. I'm off to check out your other blog.
Brilliant !
This is incredibly beautiful photo; what a beautiful perspective and composition! I also like the church, its color and architectural style.
Beautiful shots, so well presented too. :)
Looks like we're seeing the building from the point of view of the sculpture in the foreground. Love the blue sky and the architecture.
