Italy, part XII - Rome (ii): the Pantheon, more Roman Forum, and Palazzo/Piazza Venezia




The reason I'm so late with this damn entry is because Photoshop has seen fit to auto-upgrade the original, incredibly good version I had, replacing it with an unwieldy interface that has pretty much deleted every useful function it used to have, made the whole damn thing run much slower, and turned it into a bastard filter matrix for Instagram users. I've tried everything in my power to rectify this but no can do, so here I am.

Five mins later. I've given the new PS Express a real fighting chance, and after 5 or so photos I have to say it's really not doing it for me, so here are 5 pictures that have been badly edited, and the rest of them un-edited. Clearly the people at PS Express didn't get the memo 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.'

Complaints notwithstanding, I have to note that the Pantheon was easily one of my favourite buildings in Rome. There was something innately powerful about it, a magnitude of force that transcended holiness, is the best way I can put it. Everything about the Pantheon felt right.

More to come..
