The story behind the image
Piazza Navona is one of the (many) must-see places in Rome. The Piazza is a busy multi-cultural place with many cafés and restaurants which are clearly overpriced. Thus, we strongly recommend to pass these and visit the less expensive cafés and restaurants in the surrounding streets.
My photo shows the Fontana del Nettuno (from 1878) at the Northern end of the Piazza. I like the contrast between the Neptune statue and the dark orange building in the back as well as the overall warm colors. The water, however, is not splashing too much, so the fountain is not as impressive as other fountains in Rome.
