Italy Trip Bonus

This is a little out of the narrative order, but I just realized I can post video as well as still pictures and want to test how that works. So, here is a brief (45 second) panning shot of the Piazza del Popolo in Rome. This ended up being one of the unexpected highlights of the trip-- I was out wandering on my own on our last day in Italy. I saw the Piazza marked on my map, and since it was close by the Spanish Steps, which I had set out to visit, I decided to check it out. The piazza itself is huge, with massive statues at either end, a tall column in the center, a big arch on one side, and two matching churches on the other (I guess the parish dividing line was the street between them). At the west end of the piazza was a huge stage populated by what had to be about a hundred musicians, and they were evidently practicing for a live tv broadcast, as cameras were being set up while I was there. So I got to hear a concert in a really cool setting, on a beautiful day (it was sunny and in the high sixties), and decided to take a full panoramic shot of the scene-- which if all went right, appears above.
