Story:
After a presentation I made in Rome, had some time in the afternoon. Rushed to visit the Roman ruins and the Fontana di Trevi, where I took a few closeup images. Couldn’t get closer to the water fountain as the guards would not allow anyone.
Although I am not very happy with this image of the fountain, many people liked it.
Walking back on Via di San Pietro in Carcers, I found this fountain, which reminded me of the fountain at Lake Como, image I took 4 years earlier.
Mounted my tripod and camera, making sure they were all strapped to my belt (as I do in large cities). I did not want to start chasing someone that accidentally thought that the expensive camera was free to take.
As the fountain was near the top of a hill, many children and tourists stopped to drink water. I had to wait a long time to have the fountain with no people. Two policemen were uneasy watching at a person just standing and waiting, strapped to a tripod and camera.
