Piazza Navona is one of the largest and most beautiful piazza squares in Rome, built on the site where the Stadium of Domitian (Circus Agonalis), founded in 86 AD, once stood. It could hold approximately 20,000 spectators, which came here to see different athletic competitions.

The Fontana del Nettuno (Fountain of Neptune) is one of three fountains in the Piazza Navona, and is situated at the northern end. The basin was designed in 1574, and the fountain as it exists today was finally completed in 1878 with the addition of the imposing sculpture of Neptune fighting with an octopus.

'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.' ~ Marcel Proust, writer, Paris, 1871-1922. My photographs are not merely a record of what was before my camera, but rather my visualization of the place and time as I remember discovering it, be it a particular mood, impression, or ambiance. These images may bring back memories of your own travels or they might inspire, you in some small way to venture off and maybe discover exciting, new landscapes of your own. But in the meantime, consider placing one of these photographs on your wall as a window to foreign lands. A note to those who purchase one of my images, you have my deepest thanks. I am honored that you have chosen one of my photographs...
