Photo Friday: The Golden Light of Rome

The Cloaca Maxima.  Photograph by Susan Sanders

We take a break from our month-long series of posts on the Roman Holidays to enjoy the golden light of Rome. Each fall, when days grow shorter and the temperatures start to dip, Rome’s light changes drastically as the harsh flat light of summer gives way to golden luminescence.

Rome is famous for that soft golden light and the photograph above makes it easy to see why. Taken earlier this week on a late afternoon, the photo by Susan Sanders showcases depicts the Tiber River, the Ponte Palatino, and the huge arched vault that frames the gaping mouth of the city’s oldest drain, the Cloaca Maxima.
